UK: Please take part in this Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) into the causes of ME

[Countrygirl]

Please consider taking part in this UK Genome Wide Association Study (GWAS) into the causes of ME, even if you are housebound. You can just register an interest at this point, which will help them to win funding. They need one in six of every UK ME patient to take part.

The actual study will involve providing a sample of saliva and filling in a questionnaire at some point in the future. It’s designed so a carer/family member can help you if you’d struggle on your own. Please share with anyone with ME you know who might not see this but would want to take part

The study will be led by Prof Chris Ponting at the University of Edinburgh in partnership with the UK ME/CFS Biobank at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. See the FAQ for more information.
