tbh irl many viruses alter DNA of the host too (they basically reproduce by changing the cells DNA sometimes) so yea they can borderline the genetical traits we currently have in the game, but pathogens can be use for effects on massive scale unlike genetics where ya gotta do each person separately. It is not rare for diseases to cause bodily mutations, from scars to growths, some are even beneficial.
