OK, here's an idea. Lets all submit a bit of DNA to some lab where they can do a test and determine if there is anything in common with CH'ers that is different than in the non-CH population. That would settle the genetic question and perhaps bring a new level of understanding to the CH problem.
The samples could be "blind" or not. Galaxo, or some other research firm, might be willing to fund something like this as we have here a well defined CH population, perhaps like Bob said, the largest ever assembled.
This could be coordinated with the survey, or not. Quite frankly, this is something that is easy to do. It just takes a little coordination from the players.
Excuse me if this has already been suggested.
