Damn, I can only see the abstract. I'd like to see that paper if anyone has a copy.

They seem to be fingering endocrine genes, but adrenal rather than thyroid. A lot of alternative medicine people talk about 'adrenal fatigue' in this context, but I hadn't been paying much attention to that since 'real' doctors don't think it's a thing.

But I don't know what I'm talking about! Can anyone who does read that paper and tell us what it means?

Both the paper and an update to it can be found quite easily on Library Genesis.
