RESEARCH BRIEF: Two different research teams have recently identified blood biomarkers for
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS or ME/CFS), something that could eventually be used to make diagnoses.
A research team at the University of Utah Health Sciences Center has identified genes that become more active after moderate exercise. This work was done on mice, but researchers say it provides an hypothesis for comparing the blood of people with ME/CFS to that of healthy people to examine the genetic activity. This is one of several teams working on diagnostic markers that result from post-exertional malaise, a key symptom of ME/CFS.
