| | | Genetic Research
I am a student pursuing a Masters Degree. For my Thesis I was thinking of doing research on the correlation of specific eye colors and genetic disorders or immunological disorders. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

| I'm finding little.
Is there reason to believe that there is a correlation between eye color and genetic or immunological disorder to begin with? |

Pay to call J_9 for advice ($.75/min) | I was just watching a medical show on television, actually it was a marathon, called Mystery Diagonsis, and I noted that 12 out of the 16 people had green eyes. I brought this up to my microbiology professor and she suggested that this might be a great thesis subject. | |

| Sure, it would be IF there was a connection...but your question interested me and I googled it for quite a bit several ways, and found nothing.
What is your major? | |

Pay to call J_9 for advice ($.75/min) | My major is Nursing with a concentration in research. I have Googled and Yahooed nad even Medlined, all to no avail . But the correlation was intriguing. The number of green eyes and disorders was too much to ignore. I understand it might just be a coincidence, but it just really caught my "eye" (brown by the way). I look forward to hearing from you. | |

| While not accepted by most regular medcine you may want to review
Iridology Studies , this teaches specific issues with the eyes can tell you many of the health problems that a person has. | |

| Whilst not being able to find anything on the original question from J_9,I did find ths link to the Genetic Disorders Library,which research students might find useful.It is easy to navigate,and each title leads to a link,with info on the chosen subject. What are Genetic Disorders? | |

Pay to call J_9 for advice ($.75/min) | My curiosity is that if I am not going to find a lot on this subject, could it be a worthwhile subject to study? | |
