MtDNA population variation in Myalgic encephalomyelitis/ Chronic fatigue syndrome in two populations: a study of mildly deleterious variants, by Marianne Venter, Cara Tomas, Ilse S Pienaar, Victoria Strassheim, Elardus Erasmus, Wan-Fai Ng, Neil Howell, Julia L Newton, Francois H Van … Continue reading
The role of mitochondria in ME/CFS: a perspective
The role of mitochondria in ME/CFS: a perspective, by Cara Tomas, Joanna L Elson in Fatigue: Biomedicine, Health & Behavior, 26 Feb 2019 Research review abstract: Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) also known as Myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a debilitating … Continue reading
Near-infrared spectroscopy screening to allow detection of pathogenic mitochondrial DNA variants in individuals with unexplained abnormal fatigue
Near-infrared spectroscopy screening to allow detection of pathogenic mitochondrial DNA variants in individuals with unexplained abnormal fatigue: A preliminary study, by Bert M Celie, An Mariman, Jan Boone, Liesbeth Delesie, Els Tobback, Sara Seneca, Boel De Paepe, Dirk Vogelaers, Rudy N Van … Continue reading
Clinically proven mtDNA mutations are not common in CFS
Research abstract: Background: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a prevalent debilitating condition tat affects approximately 250,000 people in the UK. There is growing interest in the role of mitochondrial function and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variation in CFS. It is now … Continue reading
Hanson & co defend mtDNA research findings
Article abstract: Earlier this year, we described an analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants in myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)/chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients and healthy controls. We reported that there was no significant association of haplogroups or singe nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with … Continue reading
Mitochondrial DNA variants correlate with symptoms in ME/CFS
Research abstract: Background: Mitochondrial dysfunction has been hypothesized to occur in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), a disease characterized by fatigue, cognitive difficulties, pain, malaise, and exercise intolerance. We investigated whether haplogroup, single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or heteroplasmy of … Continue reading
