DecodeME, the world largest genetic study into ME/CFS, are now in the final stage of participant recruitment.
 
At 5pm on the 15th of November, DecodeME will be closing their registration portal to both new participants and to those who have signed up but not completed their questionnaire.
 
This is the last opportunity to sign up and be part of the ground breaking DecodeME study.  If you haven't already done so, please join those in the ME/CFS community who are doing something extraordinary by taking part.
 
Participants, who sign up and complete their questionnaire by the 15th of November deadline, and who are invited to participate in the DNA stage of the study, will be sent a spit collection kit. Final deadline for posting these back to DecodeME is the 31st of January 2024.
 
So, if you, or someone you know, are 16 or older, live in the UK and have a diagnosis of ME/CFS, please do take part now to help us decode ME/CFS at www.decodeme.org.uk/portal
