It's not ethnicity, Henry, it's genetics.

Chinese aren't Caucasians, Hakka aren't Han, and we're just talking probabilities here, anyway. Genetic components are one part, environment is another.

I'm very interested in genetic components in diseases due to my own rheumatoid arthritis. Have been participating in clinical trials about that.

Parking an idea here - Urbani, of course, was Italian, as were the two Canadian men in the story you posted recently. Maybe there is a Mediterranean-type allele as well?
