Self-explanatory? All it said was that they had discovered the "potential genetic trigger". Nothing was explained.

If reading an article 2 or 3 times in order to try to understand it fully is stupid, then yes I am.

And as I am so stupid, could you please find for me the part of that article where it explains what the potential genetic trigger is and post the quote here? I've just looked again, but I must be really stupid because I still can't see it.

All I could see was an article about a piece of research involving DNA (the methodology of which I could not find) and the conclusions drawn from it (I also could not find the reasoning behind those conclusions). Perhaps you would be so kind as to point me to the appropriate place in the article.
