Thought I'd collect names for an ME/CFS Starter Pack: patients, advocates, researchers. For #diagnostics and #treatment for #ME/CFS, #LongCOVID, #Fibromyalgia, #POTS, and other related multisystem diseases. Send me a note to include.

We have some bandwidth and so I’m interested in expanding the nbr of ME/CFS patients whose genomes we analyze. If you have data and would be interested in signing up to our protocol (we have found interesting findings in some, but not all people) please reach out and I can explain. #ME/CFS #Genomics

Was not discussed in that context. Sorry! Sounds like lots of work in this context, so maybe someone to look up.?

AM: 1,715 combinations with nominally significant impacts were identified in UK Biobank study. Two clinically relevant examples of effect heterogeneity were seen: 1) BMA -T2D attenuates with age, 2) LDL cholesterol exacerbates with increased urate. Study just published #ESHG2025

AM: Resid-Strat, DR by G, DR by X, and Raw-Strat methods were all tested in term of impact on Type 1 error. Each method was found to be differentially affected by collider biases #ESHG2025
