- zymhan 11y agoWait, I'm more likely to be color blind because of my ethnicity? Well that's interesting... EDIT: The article says "Arabs (Druzes)". So, if they're specifying the Druze ethnicity, does that have any implications for Arabs in general?
- mjevans 11y agoThey probably don't know. It's very likely that a subsample of that ethnicity had good medical data and thus conclusions can only be drawn conclusively for that subsample. However it would indicate an area for study should more reliable sample sizes of other 'near' populations be possible.
