Petty RD, McCarthy NE, Le Dieu R, Kerr JR.

CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates altered microRNA expression in the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of CFS/ME patients, which are potential diagnostic biomarkers. The greatest degree of miRNA
deregulation was identified in NK cells with targets consistent with cellular activation and altered effector function.
