Persistently Elevated Somatic Mutation as a Biomarker for Clinically Relevant Exposures in GWI

Abstract

Gulf War Illness (GWI) consists of a set of debilitating symptoms that have been associated with deployment to the Persian Gulf theatre of war, either in 1990/91 in Kuwait or 2003-11 in Iraq. There is general agreement that physical exposures play an important role in the etiology of this disease (or diseases), yet studies to identify a single major causative exposure have been largely unproductive.
