With your help, #DecodeME has built the world’s largest data set on ME/CFS. We are now welcoming data access applications from researchers who wish to use this in studies into ME/CFS and other diseases. Find out more ➡️ shorturl.at/wDEKQ
"Viking Genes" will be the subject of our next #Edinburgh Group meeting on Sat., 23rd March 2024 from 2 pm to 4 pm at the Royal Scots Club and online. Further details here: anesfhs.org.uk/meetings-event… #Genealogy #Scotland #Vikings
Surprising, to me at least, observation that 25% of young adults (18-40 years old) admitted to the ICU for non-'external' reasons have a major genetic risk factor medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
