I have heard about this gene before - in a documentary about finding genetic resistance to plague. There was a village in England that mostly survived the plague. Descendants from those survivors are STILL resistant, if they have both copies of the gene - even to AIDS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfRJEm96Lgo&t=57s
