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
