Families with multiple members with ME/CFS wanted for Moreau study - worldwide

Thank you, @Sasha. He also mentioned genetic studies with big families, if I remember and understood correctly.
 
No no. He mentioned twin studies. Later he mentioned big families (there was a slide with a family tree, where red meant "with ME" and blue "without ME"). If I understood correctly these were different topics. Is that wrong?

I think you're right that they're two separate studies, but I wondered if he only wanted big families for the 'family' study (as opposed to the twin study). His lab doesn't seem to have a website of its own with this kind of thing on it.

I meant "many generation" families, sorry for this misunderstanding. You are right, they don't have to be big. I understood that he is interested in whether and how ME might be inherited, e.g. from parents to children, to their children and so on.

Oh! I see. The misunderstanding was mine there! )

Thanks - that's a very useful clarification.

I'm surprised not to see this study and the twins one pushed more widely. The limiting factor is surely going to be getting enough participants, and quickly enough.
 
I didn't watch it, I'm UK based but sure that I could provide blood and other family members would too...

Do you have multiple family members affected? I do too.

My birth mother (even better for research as i didnt grow up with her) has M.E, a maternal cousin i have never met, one of my 4 children has been ill and another one shows tendencies.
