Abstract
Fibromyalgia is a common and debilitating chronic pain syndrome of poorly understood etiology. Here, we conduct a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-analysis across 2,563,755 individuals (54,629 cases and 2,509,126 controls) from 11 cohorts, identifying the first 26 risk...
Many disease-associated variants are thought to be regulatory but are not present in existing catalogues of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL). We hypothesise that these variants may regulate expression in specific biological contexts, such as stimulated immune cells. Here, we used human...

GWAS highlights the neuronal contribution to multiple sclerosis susceptibility
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11643295/
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease affecting the brain and spinal cord. Genetic studies have identified many risk loci...
Abstract
Inherited deficiency of zinc finger NFX1-type containing 1 (ZNFX1), a dsRNA virus sensor, is associated with severe familial immunodeficiency, multisystem inflammatory disease, increased susceptibility to viruses, and early mortality. However, limited treatments for patients with...

For the past month or so I've been working on a project. It's a website for logging genes that were significant from studies on ME/CFS, meant to make it easier to compare genes that are replicated in multiple studies. You can take a look at https://sickgenes.xyz

Evidence for a heritable predisposition to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Albright, Frederick; Light, Kathleen; Light, Alan; Bateman, Lucinda; Cannon-Albright, Lisa A
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) came to attention in the 1980s, but initial investigations did not find organic causes. Now decades...
