[edit] Is this actually CIPA?

We say: "CIPA is extremely rare. There are only 35 reported cases in the United States and more than 300 in Japan because it occurs more often in genetically homogeneous societies. It is also found in Vittangi, a Swedish village in Kiruna Municipality in northern Sweden, where nearly 40 cases have been reported; however, the disorder found in Vittangi may be of a different kind because those affected can perspire."

If this disorder does not come with anhidrosis, how is it CIPA? Skittle 20:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References

There are two references as of now. Both of them refer to fiction TV shows!! What is up with that?? The TV shows can refer to the medical page but not the other way around. The cases described aren't even real. I think these references should be removed from the article and be replaced by scientific publications. I'll wait a few days to do that myself if there is no opposition. Lukas 04:24, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Whoever changed it, "In fiction" instead of "References" sounds acceptable to me.Lukas 23:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
