i always assumed it was flame. i watched a chris johnson interview the other day after he announced his als and they were saying he didnt "have the gene" but 90+% of people who get als dont "have the gene". i think the genome stuff was just an excuse to sell people shit.

all they can sell is genetic tests to see if you "have the gene." They can't look at your kid's genes and tell you whether he'll go bald in his 20s. They can't tell you when he'll grow pubes or whether he'll be fat.
it was legitimate but it was just the beginning. the human genome and gene expression are insanely complex, it boggles my little mind when I think about them.
actually the last 5-10 years have seen insane strides in genetic medicine and it probably will accelerate. part of the issue is that from the early 2000s (shortly after the genome was sequenced) a lot of genetic therapies were put on a very slow track because some kid died of a cytokine storm
