Epigenetic modifications & glucocorticoid sensitivity in ME/CFS
Research abstract: Background: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating idiopathic disease characterized by unexplained fatigue that fails to resolve with sufficient rest. Diagnosis is based on a list of symptoms and exclusion of other fatigue-related health conditions. Despite … Continue reading

Changes to genes found in IBS
Research abstract: Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a stress-sensitive disorder. Environmental factors including stress can trigger epigenetic changes, which have not been well-studied in IBS. We performed a pilot study investigating genome-wide DNA methylation of IBS patients and healthy … Continue reading

The importance of understanding how our genes change
Extract from article by Cort Johnson: Epigenetics refers to the changes in sites in our DNA that are susceptible to change over time which can modify the expression of our genes. Our genetic heritage, it turns out, only sets the … Continue reading
