MEGLATHERY MD: RCCX THEORY:CYP21A2 Mutations May be Genetic Diathesis in the Stress-Diathesis Model For Psychiatric and Medical illness. Co-Segregating C4, CYP21A2, TNXB mutations May Explain Co-Occurrence of EDS/hypermobility, CFS/ME/FM, MCAS, POTS/OI/dysautonomia, Autism/Schizophrenia/Mood Disorders/Anxiety, etc. in Patients and Families. |
Sharon Meglathery MD: Thank you for considering distributing this information to researchers, scientists, clinical experts. I suggest that you print out the Summary (provides an introduction and is easy to follow), both pathophysiology diagrams. I think that anyone who grasps the main idea will recognize the importance of this discovery/theory.
