Decode ME – the world’s largest DNA study of ME/CFS
Led by Dr Chris Ponting the study aims to uncover whether the disease is partly genetic and, if so, help pinpoint what causes it.
They need tens of thousands of people to take part from home by taking the questionnaire and providing a saliva sample to study their DNA. You can do both from home.
They need 25,000 DNA samples and even more people to take the questionnaire.
They are also looking for 5,000 DNA samples from people who developed ME/CFS after a Covid-19 infection.
Take part
Over 20,000 people have completed the questionnaire.
Over 10,000 have been asked to provide a DNA sample.
Many more are needed!
People who are not online can also take part:
- Ask for a printed version of the information and questionnaire.
- Ask for help to record your answers over the phone.
