UK Biobank Genetic Study - Commentary from Decode ME

[Rufous McKinney]

So I wouldn't dismiss self reported as an issue on its own

I don't have a huge issue with self reported- given the lack of diagnosing. I have a SEID diagnosis, not based upon meaningful testing to rule out all the other possibiities. Its borderline "self diagnosis".

But they should use more thorough criteria..or make sure we can clearly define certain groups like have PEM, etc.

Thank you for emphasizing the fact that the link mentioned in the original post was DecodeME commenting on a separate study conducted by the UK Biobank.

thanks for clarifying all that ....generally confusing to the infirm.... There seemed to be no study, but all this discussion of the results.
