dc.description.abstract | Objective: The pathomechanism of chronic fatigue syndrome/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS/
ME) is unknown; however, a small subgroup of patients has shown muscarinic antibody positivity
and reduced symptom presentation following anti-CD20 intervention. Given the important roles
of calcium (Ca2þ) and acetylcholine (ACh) signalling in B cell activation and potential antibody
development, we aimed to identify relevant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and
genotypes in isolated B cells from CFS/ME patients.
Methods: A total of 11 CFS/ME patients (aged 31.82 5.50 years) and 11 non-fatigued controls
(aged 33.91 5.06 years) were included. Flow cytometric protocols were used to determine B cell
purity, followed by SNP and genotype analysis for 21 mammalian TRP ion channel genes and nine
mammalian ACh receptor genes. SNP association and genotyping analysis were performed using
ANOVA and PLINK analysis software. | |
