I have written this hypotesis, while studying various bioinformatic tools, on a possible link between the presence of truncated forms of Rnase-L described years ago in ME/CFS and the low NK intracellular perforin level described by Maher in 2005, as well as the high genetic expression reported in 2011 for NK perforin, in ME/CFS patients.

Please, skip the brief introduction in Italian and forgive mistakes due to both my poor English and 'brain fog'. Thanks.
