Answer:

False

Explanation:

Rearrangements on introns and transposons usually don't cause severe consequences because those sequences are not part of coding genes and therefore cannot code for proteins, and if a rearrangement occur within a coding sequence of a gene might cause an incomplete and non-functional protein causing severe consequences to expression levels of that particular gene.
