Chris Ponting is an absolute hero. He's involved with this work because of his friendship with Simon McGrath who was at Oxford Uni with him. Chris has spent hours travelling to visit Simon. Amazing guy. #c4news #DecodeME #MEcfs
Proud to be on the Science Advisory Board for DecodeME, a peripheral role but a fantastic vantage point from which to witness such outstanding work by Chris Ponting @cgatist.bsky.social and colleagues

Graphic 1 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. At the top in bold lettering, it says βMain Findingsβ. Beneath this it says βYour genes contribute to your chances of developing ME/CFS. Other key findings are on the following slides.
Graphic 2 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says βPeople with an ME/CFS diagnosis have significant genetic differences in their DNA compared to the general populationβ. Beneath this is an image of a DNA helix and a magnifying glass.
Graphic 3 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says βThese lie in many places across the genome, and do not impact just one geneβ. Beneath this is an image of a DNA helix and graphs.
Graphic 4 of 4. DecodeME: The Results graphic. The slide says βEight genetic signals have been identified. As DNA doesnβt change with ME/CFS onset, these findings reflect causes rather than effects of ME/CFSβ. Beneath this is a blue magnifying glass with a DNA helix.

These findings reflect the lived experience of thousands of #pwME.
Thanks to all our participants & supporters who made this possible!
Read a summary of our results: shorturl.at/pgsjk
Clip: Channel 4 News, Prof Chris Ponting tells a participant that the DecodeME study found eight genetic differences in people with MECFS β demonstrating that itβs a biological, organic illness.
βDecodeME also looked at genetic signals associated with depression and anxiety that were near the genetic signals found for ME/CFS, and found that neither involved the same causal variants as ME/CFSβ

Within a week of the plan being published, There were three petitions for people with severe ME being held against their will by the NHS. And now this mother of a child with ME being *arrested* for her death despite the harms caused by THE NHS!!!

I can't find Ashley Dalton on here so tagging you in with total support for what you have had to do.
Hope BMA negotiations are going better.
@meactionuk.bsky.social @meactnet.bsky.social please boost on other platforms. We are scrambling for lawyers to get the sister out as the top priority. I am speaking with national print media this morning.
Isla's mother has been arrested under suspicion of causing her death from ME last year (heart failure). There was no inquest. Isla's younger sister (15), who also has ME, has been removed from the only people who understand how the disease must be managed. Imagine her fear.
#MEKills #HumanRights
Itβs #MEAwareness Day! MECFS has one of the lowest QOL of any disease and yet most providers incorrectly believe itβs psychological and refuse to use current best tx practices. For my healthcare friends, the Bateman Horne Center just released a very comprehensive clinical care guide.
Bailouts won't fix the sewage scandal and won't reduce bills. Join me and @GoodLawProject to call on Steve Reed to stop water company greed

Hello RBJ! God itβs a lot on there isnβt it. Iβm stuck between laughing at the nonsense and incredibly worried as to where itβs going!
Think I should hang here more too x
