Could it be that people in India have different genetic makeup than people in other countries?

I mean, many populations have more/less risk of many physiological things. That's just how it goes.

Black men are at much higher risk of prostate cancer. White people of melanoma. As a man, I pretty much don't have to worry about autoimmune disorders because my risk is 1/10th that of a woman's. But, my risk of heart disease is much higher - even at the same weight!
