Immune System May Play Role in Fibromyalgia, Study Suggests
Through a new genetic analysis, researchers have found evidence suggesting the involvement of the immune system in fibromyalgia (FM), a study reports.
Inherited mutations in genes that provide instructions for the production of three immune molecules — called CCL11, CCL4 and MEFV — impact the immune system and may be associated with the risk of fibromyalgia, according to the researchers.
The study, “SNPs in inflammatory genes CCL11, CCL4 and MEFV in a fibromyalgia family study,” waa published in the journal Plos One.
