Extra copies of H63D gene for hemochromatosis increases the risk of getting a stroke

this is interesting ..

they've found out that ppl who had an extra copy of the H63D gene, were at an increased risk for a stroke!

it's funny to me, because the H36D is the mild mutation for hemochromatosis! yet linked to stroke !!

PS. don't mind the "dogflu" thing. the site is about humans and dogs =D
