well what a gene mutation can do is activate or cause a gene to be expressed more but it is very hard for ONE SINGLE GENE MUTATION to cause all mutant powers. After all expression is not only determined by the gene itself but how much it is expressed/processed (co-dominance vs. dominant gene vs half expression, etc)

Most likely all mutants having telepathy will have their 'mutant gene' in the same/similar place e.g. xavier, jean grey, emma frost.

Interesting concept to 'unlock' hidden human potential is actually explored in Fringe (TV) where a biochemist in Harvard tries to get his human test subjects to express otherwise dormant genes, and I think that was what the person above was getting at.

Yeah, I know, that's why I was stretching there and saying it was a combination of genes that created the unique power for the person and the x-gene was just the activating force.

Even that seems like shaky reasoning to me but I let it slide because they keep saying it's only one gene.

So I think we're saying the same thing and my analogy was just not good.

Interesting. How did that go?

I mean it could well be a new mutation (I'm sure some cases they are) but it's hard to see such a huge population of mutants 'out of nowhere' because of one gene.
basically genetics is more complicated that what meets the eye and yeahhh. Although looking at individual cases, you can make the argument as to how they would have gotten their power.

Ha, for Fringe, not well for most because most test subjects were children so many exhibited their 'enhanced genes' after puberty and by the research was shut down. so the Fringe Division is the FBI thingy to deal with such biochemical mishaps (some due to the experiments, some not). Lots of grisly deaths, kind of a more science approach to the x-files

[forgottenjester]

Ah, I see. Yeah, I get that. I agree.

Oh wow, sucks to be those kids.
