==Research help is needed== There are many variances in this RCCX region which have not been characterized or even identified. This part of the genome needs to be explored and variances linked with the clinical picture (CAPS or chronic illness-medical or psychiatric). After developing and refining her hypothesis Meglathery set up a [www.rccxandillness.com|website] in February 2016 to expose her theory and generate interest in research. Within eight hours of release an endocrinologist, [Karen Herbst] MD PhD, an international expert in subcutaneous fat disorders, contacted Meglathery. Herbst is also convinced that the RCCX module is involved in these conditions, given the high rate of hypermobility, chronic fatigue and psychiatric illness in this population. The team is moving forward. Herbst is devising ways to demonstrate the clinical correlates of CYP21A2 mutations and Meglathery is creating a uniform way to detect and diagnose CAPS. "We need a very sophisticated genetics team to correlate our findings with RCCX mutations. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact us" - Meglathery.
