The RCCX genetic module is a chimeric region that stays linked, adapts, and spits out mutations in response to environmental factors. Most complex gene cluster in our genome, in the most complex region, and state of the art techniques still struggle to sequence it in all its detail still. Recently shown to be behind sex biases in immune conditions by MIT. But personally I think it’s fascinating and meshes well with the Gaia hypothesis.
Both.
It’s much harder to prove this for things like neurodivergence but easy to do so for things like autoimmune conditions, type-1 diabetes, MS, etc.
And the fact that they’re co-morbid isn’t coincidence!
