📢#ME is clear to see in the blood of 1,455 #pwME
<New Preprint, not peer reviewed>
116 blood molecules or cells are significantly different between #pwME and population controls
& in both females & males
& these differences are NOT due to inactivity

1/4 medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Only for a handful of 3,237 blood traits was ME’s effect explained partially by inactivity.
By contrast, ME had a significant direct effect - not due to inactivity - on 290 traits.
Note: no single trait/molecule can cleanly distinguish #pwME from controls

*New review on lncRNAs* intended to provoke scepticism where warranted,
