I'm not aware of any. Can you list them, and the source?
I am my source. I said "some of the genes I see", not that researchers see.
But if you want a gene that is not on the X chromosome that is an epigenetic gene see GPx
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21552194
SOD is another:

Since MAOA and MAOB SNPs (X chromosome genes) can produce free radicals in the mitochondria, they are two of the epigenetic genes I could see, in part, causing CFS.
CFS/ME is the result of free radical damage. (That was a period at the end of that sentence.) Since research cannot account for all of the variables that can effect epigenetic expression of these genes they will always fall short at explaining why. This is where we need to abandon science and become more "artistic".
I think, Valentijn, if I can try to put this kindly, is where you are falling short. You are very science and data oriented, but science needs creativity and looking from a distance.
