📢New preprint alert! Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex disease that is affecting more people than we thought, yet it is significantly underrecognized and poorly studied. 1/n
medrxiv.org/content/10.110… We systematically examined the genetics of ME/CFS using AI and WGS. We generated the largest WGS dataset to date for ME/CFS, based on 3 cohorts including @mecfsbiobank. We then developed HEAL2, a deep learning framework that predicts ME/CFS risk from rare coding variants. 2/n Image
