diagnose Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME\/CFS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is currently no test for the condition and patients tend to be diagnosed based on symptoms, which means many can go undiagnosed for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alexandre Akoulitchev, Chief Scientific Officer at OBD<\/strong>, which funded and co-authored the research, said: &#8220;Chronic fatigue syndrome is not a genetic disease you&#8217;re born with, that&#8217;s why using EpiSwitch &#8216;epigenetic&#8217; markets &#8211; which can change during a person&#8217;s life, unlike fixed genetic code &#8211; was key to reaching this high level of accuracy.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can
