Sweeping chronic fatigue study brings clues but not clarity to mysterious syndrome (deep phenotyping study)

The new work, published this week in Nature Communications, affirms that ME/CFS is unquestionably biologically rooted, says Avindra Nath, clinical director of the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, who led the study. It revealed brain activity differences, along with immune and other abnormalities, in 17 people with ME/CFS compared with 21 healthy controls.
