NEW info: WPI statement on Science study cohort
JUST POSTED ON WPI FACEBOOK PAGE:
Here are few facts about the patient samples used in the WPI Science study.
No patient samples were used from Dr. Peterson's original repository in the Science XMRV study.
All of the samples used in the Science study were donated to the WPI between 2006 and 2009 by physician diagnosed CFS patients based on the Fukuda a...nd Canadian Consensus definitions. Patient samples were coded and randomly chosen from the WPI repository freezer.
Samples from this study are from CFS patients who come from all over the United States and many from around the world to be treated by CFS doctors.
When Dr. Mikovits later discussed the many CFS cancer patients positive for XMRV, she was referring to additional work that had been done after the paper was submitted for publication.
