In een artikel
in het gerenommeerde tijdschrift New Scientist maakten Britse
onderzoekers afgelopen zaterdag melding van de vondst van genetische
verschillen in witte bloedcellen tussen ME-patiënten en gezonde mensen
[1]. Hiermee menen zij het bewijs te hebben geleverd van de biologische
oorsprong van ME

Vermoeidheidssyndroom mogelijk toch ziekte
Bij patiënten met het chronisch
vermoeidheidssyndroom (CVS) zijn duidelijke lichamelijke verschillen
gevonden vergeleken met gezonde mensen.

Dr. Jonathan Kerr, principal investigator, St. George's Medical
School"We’ve shown that several hundred genes are very, very different
between patients and controls and we now must make sure that these are
specific differences to this disease and after that we can use that
information to design new treatments.”

The Scottish
Conservatives are pleased to make our time in the Parliament available
to members to debate the Kerr report and the state of the national
health service in Scotland. It is a matter of regret that the Scottish
Executive refused to do so in its time prior to the recess, given the
importance of the subject.

concludes that
patients with ME/ICD-CFS have reproducible alterations in gene
regulation and that sixteen genes have an expression profile associated
with the disorder that can be grouped according to immune, neuronal,
mitochondrial and other functions.

The analysis of 9,522 genes identified 35 that appeared
to show differences, and a more precise examination of these revealed
significant and genuine changes in the way that 16 of the genes were
expressed in the CFS group.

Differences in
gene expression have been found in the immune cells of people with the
disease, a discovery that could lead to a blood test for the disorder

When a person is attacked by an infection some genes
become very active while others shut down. The overactive genes
produce chemicals, which cause the symptoms of the illness.
Scientists carrying out this study will be examining the overactive
genes to identify the chemicals that they are producing. These
chemicals may then be targeted by existing or novel drugs

Kerr’s team found that a group of genes in the white blood cells of CFS
sufferers were up to four times more active than those without the
affliction while one was less active.“The involvement of such genes does
seem to fit with the fact that these patients lack energy and suffer
from fatigue,”

Scientists
believe they have pinpointed biological markers of chronic fatigue
syndrome which could help develop a test and treatment for the
condition.

In as yet
unpublished work, bona fide research has indicated that in those with
ME/ICD-CFS there are more gene abnormalities present than are found in
cancer sufferers.
