Blood samples wanted for ME/CFS genes expression study

ME researchers are looking for volunteers to supply blood samples to the ME/CFS genes expression study being conducted at Glasgow Caledonian University by Professor John Gow and his research assistant Dr Suzanne Hagan.
They are very grateful for anyone who can either donate a sample of blood for this or pass the information to anyone they know who would wish to take part.
Ideally they would like a 5ml sample of blood in an EDTA tube (not heparin) and a 5ml blood sample in a clotted plasma tube together with a covering letter from the clinician, containing brief details of the case history.
Patients must have been diagnosed for a minimum of 6 months.
The researchers would be happy to pay the postage for any samples sent from surgeries or clinics if required but they cannot afford to pay for the clinician's time.
If you are able to help please contact
Dr Suzanne Hagan
Room C223A, BIO, Charles Oakley Laboratories, Glasgow Caledonian University, Cowcaddens Road, Glasgow G4 0BA.
