Researchers Develop Revolutionary Blood Test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
\n———————————–
\nA new blood test developed by researchers from the University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics can diagnose Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME\/CFS) with 96% accuracy, offering hope to millions worldwide affected by the debilitating, long-term condition.<\/p>\n
According to SciTechDaily, the breakthrough uses cutting-edge EpiSwitch 3D Genomic technology to examine how DNA folds within blood samples. This method identifies unique “epigenetic markers”\u2014changes that occur during a person’s life, unlike fixed genetic code\u2014that are consistently present in individuals with ME\/CFS but absent in healthy people. This finding dispels the notion that the illness is “all in the head” and offers the first simple, reliable diagnostic tool for a condition that has long lacked one.<\/p>\n
Researchers hope the technology will not only transform diagnosis and lead to earlier patient support but also pave the way for a similar blood test to accurately diagnose Long COVID, which shares a similar cluster of symptoms triggered by a viral infection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
