I am reminded of a study I read a while back about Charcot Marie Tooth. (a form of hereditary neuropathy)

The study was about fluoroquinolones triggering a CMT postive patient who was in late middle age, and had no symptoms of CMT until taking Levaquin for an infection. This activated the CMT and he now has active neuropathy. So just having the genes, didn't result in an active disease process until the drug came along.
