http://www.ironoverload.org/hooks.html
" 2. Homozygosity or double gene expression is 1 in 200. This means that 1.5 million Americans are going to overload iron at some point in their lives even from an ordinary diet. Some population segments such as the Scott/Irish and African-American have twice the double gene expression, 1 in 100, and a carrier rate of an amazing 20%. In Ireland they are reporting an astonishing carrier rate of 33%. That is that one person in three has at least partial genetics for hemochromatosis. " It's a good project for Grid? no ? @+ *_* |

Hello Olivier Tableau,
Regular blood donations at the Red Cross handle these problems quite easily, plus give you a free lab check for a number of diseases. I do not see what a distributed computer network can do about Hemochromatosis. So what project do you have in mind? Anyway, the thing to do is to send this Submit A Proposal URL ( http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/projects_showcase/viewSubmitAProposal.do ) to someone contemplating such a project. Lawrence |

Hello Sofia Hernandez-Garcia,
The Download page is at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/viewJoinNow.do If you prefer to download the BOINC software (more options) that is at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/viewJoinNow.do The projects are explained in the Research Tab. The red HELP at the extreme right brings up a menu of URLs organized as Getting Started, Overview and Troubleshooting. The Forum has several important sections. Start Here has many important posts.
