    They may think and hope everything comes down to a gene defect which it very may will in some cases BUT a gene which seems to ONLY run through the ethnics would be more related to the ethnics ONLY then but kidney disease runs at a very high rate through EVERYONE and coincidentally Asians and Pacific Islanders. Ethnics are defined AS anyone who has a 'tan' minor moderate extreme. We will find there is an iron overload in these people at a higher rate causing erythrocytosis KNOWN to cause .. ? .. kidney disease. Imho ..
    "Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders are more at risk for kidney failure.  Over 21,000 Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders have kidney failure!"
