Subtyping

This image is a banner for "Science Wednesdays" by Open Medicine Foundation. It has a blue background with hexagonal shapes and a DNA-like structure on the right, symbolizing scientific research.

Subtyping

Subtyping is the act of identifying smaller groups within a larger group of people. In the context of disease, subtypes are typically variations of the larger disease (e.g., HER2+ breast cancer is a subtype of breast cancer).

As ME/CFS is a heterogeneous disease, it’s likely that there are subtypes of the disease to identify. Subtyping might be particularly important for helping guide treatments.

OMF’s large-scale biomarker project, BioQuest, is working to incorporate subtype identification into its study. Read more about the project on our website: https://www.omf.ngo/bioquest-large-scale-biomarker-project/.

An infographic titled "SUBTYPING," which illustrates the division of a general patient group into four specific, distinct categories. On the left, a large, undifferentiated grey silhouette is labeled "ME/CFS Group," representing the entire patient population. On the right, this single group branches out into four smaller, color-coded human silhouettes, each representing a unique "subtype" with an accompanying medical icon
