In addition to the article I posted last week (ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24762091) about the role of the methylation cycle in FM, research also indicates that PROBLEMS WITH METHYLATION may play a role in CFS. solvecfs.org/research/cfidsaa-research-program-for-researchers/genetic-changes-and-cfs-identifying-the-culprit/. ... if Dr. McGowan is right, they (epigenetics) may also play a role in the development of ME/CFS...Epigenetics is really a funnel by which the outside environment interacts with the genome...This, in turn, influences how cells work (or don’t work). Already, research shows that epigenetic changes are implicated in numerous diseases, including cancer, asthma and heart disease....Epigenetics refers to patterns of change in gene expression — not the gene itself — that occur in response to such things as nutrition, infection and physical and mental trauma, not genetic factors. These outside influences trigger a process called methylation that affects gene function but doesn’t change the underlying DNA structure. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND EPIGENETICS AND METHYLATION SEE MY RECENT talk about methylation and epigenetics: https://youtube/watch?v=7wTkD6QXmZQ&feature=youtu.be. Thank you to Dr.Mullan and Elizabeth for sharing this article with me.
