| Abstract: | Background Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) came to attention in the 1980s, but initial investigations did not find organic causes. Now
decades later, the etiology of CFS has yet to be understood, and the role of genetic predisposition in CFS remains controversial.
Recent reports of CFS association with the retrovirus xenotropic murine leukemic virus-related virus (XMRV) or other murine
leukemia related retroviruses (MLV) might also suggest underlying genetic implications within the host immune system. |
