I put this as a question mark because I'm not so sure about this...They're going to draw these kinds of conclusions from a sample of 20, all of them from one American towns?

"[FONT="]: The desflurane requirement in redheads (6.2 volume-percent [95% CI, 5.9 - 6.5]) was significantly greater than in dark-haired women (5.2 volume-percent [4.9 – 5.5], [/FONT]P[FONT="] = 0.0004). Nine of 10 redheads were either homozygous or compound heterozygotes for mutations on the melanocortin-1 receptor gene.[/FONT][FONT="]Conclusions: Red hair appears to be a distinct phenotype linked to anesthetic requirement in humans that can also be traced to a specific genotype."[/FONT]
