December Education Meeting: Mutations in Energy and Autoimmune Genes in MECFS
Bateman Horne Center 24 South 1100 East, Suite 205, Salt Lake Cty, UTNew findings suggest that multiple mitochondrial mutations and mutations in genes that control mitochondria create susceptibility for ME/CFS. Mutations in genes that control autoimmunity add to susceptibility for ME/CFS. It is possible that exposure to viruses, bacteria, mold or other pathogens, injury or other causes of inflammation can trigger increased or “de novo” autoimmunity causing […]
