SMPDL3B is a protein that sits on the membrane of cells and influences lipids (fatty/waxy substances) within the membrane. Specifically, it tweaks the levels of certain lipids called sphingolipids, which are both structural components of the cell membrane and signalling molecules. Sphingolipids have been previously implicated in ME/CFS. By regulating these lipids, SMPDL3B can affect how cells communicate and regulate immune responses.

BBC Access All Podcast: Is the DNA of people with ME different?

The BBC have interviewed Prof Chris Ponting and Laura Boyles, who has ME/CFS, about the Decode ME Study in a segment for the BBC Access All podcast:

"We found that there are at least eight different places in the human genome where people with ME have on average a different frequency of these DNA differences than the general population. And that, because we’ve taken account of possible problems such as people’s differences and their ancestries etc, we’re quite convinced that this relates to cause, the causes of ME."
