A Cartography of Differential Gene Methylation in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Different Network Roles in the Protein-Protein Interactions Network Play Different, Biologically Relevant, Roles

Abstract: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, also known as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS), is a debilitating illness characterised by severe fatigue and associated with immune dysfunction. Previous studies of DNA methylation (epigenetic changes that can affect the gene transcription) have found evidence of changes in immune cells for ME/CFS. However these studies have been limited by their small sample size, precluding the ability to detect changes to methylation of smaller magnitude. Therefore, to achieve a larger sample si… Show more

“… 39 clrs can activate NF‐κb signaling (morning fatigue) and pathways for T‐cell differentiation (both morning and evening fatigue). While not evaluated in patients undergoing chemotherapy, in a study of patients with chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), 40 the C‐type lectin receptor signaling pathway was a member of a cluster of pathways enriched for differentially methylated genes associated with CFS severity. CRF and CFS/ME share gene expression patterns at a subset of genes 7 and may share underlying mechanisms.…”
