The contact email is: MECFSGenes@nova.edu

From the webpage: http://www.nova.edu/nim/research/mecfs-genes.html
  1. How does this study work?Interested individuals must email MECFSGenes@Nova.edu. Please state whether you have ME/CFS or are a Healthy Control. You will receive a personalized link, within 2-3 business days, to a secure web based platform, RedCap, which is how the study is conducted. Once you complete the instructions, you will click on the link and complete a Pre-Screening Questionnaire consisting of 11 questions. If you qualify for the study, you will be directed to a survey queue with an additional survey and an area to upload your raw genetic data.
    PLEASE NOTE: The email you receive WILL be encrypted and you WILL have to follow the instructions found here in order to proceed.

    7. I completed my genetic testing from a website. Which companies do you accept?At this time, we are only accepting raw genetic data from 23andme.com and dna.ancestry.com
A quick look at the websites today shows these prices:

$99 r(educed to $69 til August 15th) on https://www.ancestry.com/dna/

and two options on https://www.23andme.com/ of $99 for 'Ancestry Service' or $199 for 'Health + Ancestry Service' (USA) but the prices may depend on what you're country in.

I have a vague memory from possibly a year ago ( very helpful!) that the OMF would be introducing a genome testing facility in the near future.

Anyone remember anything about this?

If I'm thinking of the same thing there was someone named Laura? who @Ben Howell mentioned was working on a blood test that was due around end of July (now past).
The issues for delay were one of transporting the samples I think.

One of the metabolomic tests that Laurel Crosby is working on at Stanford is able to be used by anyone worldwide, providing you can get a blood draw and centrifuged. This is still being tested before being made available.
