Researchers from St George’s Hospital, University of London have identified a biological basis for 7 different genetic types of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The St George’s study looked at 55 patients from the US and UK with the condition, and carried out a genetic analysis of them and 75 healthy blood donors. It identified the seven distinct subtypes of CFS/ME identified by a specific genetic pattern. These were linked to specific symptoms. 1. Type one had the worst anxiety and depression levels, along with poor sleep and high pain levels, 2. Type two was characterised by significant post-exercise fatigue and joint and muscle pains, 3. Type three was the mildest form of the disease, 3. Type four is linked to moderate levels of body pain and sleep problems, 5. Type five had stomach complaints and the most marked muscle weakness, 6. Type six was specifically connected to fatigue, 7. Type seven had the most severe symptoms including pain, swollen glands and headaches. Type four and Type six were the most common forms of the condition. Campaigners hope it will help counter the opinion, which remains in some quarters of the medical profession, that it is a psychological condition. |
