Chicago, Il. (AHN) - According to a new research study, teenagers who suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome can blame their mothers for their affliction.
According to Reuters, a study based on 36 children averaging 16 years old diagnosed with chronic fatigue found that their mothers were likely to share their symptoms, while fathers showed no connection.
Elise M. van de Putte of Wilhelmina Children's Hospital in Utrecht, the Netherlands, suggested the link was the "result of an interplay between genetic susceptibility and environmental factors."
Currently, between 500,000 and one million Americans have chronic fatigue syndrome that can persist for years and often leaves victims listless, with symptoms such as pain, headaches, swollen lymph nodes, and problems with memory and concentration.
