This article reviews how ME/CFS develops by looking at both genes and environmental factors that trigger the illness. The authors explain known genetic problems found in ME/CFS patients, what can start the disease, and how these factors combine to cause the symptoms people experience. They also describe a systematic approach to diagnosing and treating ME/CFS.
This article provides a structured framework for understanding how genetic susceptibility and environmental exposures interact to cause ME/CFS, which can help guide both clinical diagnosis and research into personalized treatment approaches. A systematic approach to diagnosis and treatment may improve consistency in how ME/CFS is recognized and managed across different healthcare settings.
This editorial does not present original research data and therefore does not establish new causal relationships or prove specific genetic-environmental mechanisms. The systematic approach described is a conceptual framework rather than validated in controlled trials, so its effectiveness compared to other diagnostic or treatment methods is not demonstrated.
About the PEM badge: “PEM required” means post-exertional malaise was an explicit required diagnostic criterion for participant inclusion in this study — not that PEM was studied, observed, or discussed. Studies using criteria that do not require PEM (e.g. Fukuda, Oxford) are tagged “PEM not required”. How the atlas works →
