for the "never really sure if vampire presence indeed trigger the gene" One, it states directly from the Official guide that "this extra chromosome will not have any effect on the carrier if he or she is not in close proximity to vampires during all or part of the cirtical time between the onset of puberty and the age of twenty-five. If the potential werewolf is not exposed to vampires within this window of time, transformation will never occur. It is the scent of the vampire that triggers the reaction; a potential wolf would not have to touch or see the vampire, only cross his scent." BOOM.
