[edit] Basal ganglia
No mention of the basal ganglia? [1] --David Iberri (talk) 20:32, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
- I added a brief mention of the basal ganglia and the Parkinsonian symptoms that result. --David Iberri (talk) 18:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] El Salvador
What is the most reliable source for this disease's high incidence in Central America, specifically El Salvador? JFW | T@lk 11:13, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
- Still haven't found a good source for the statistic presently mentioned in the article. OMIM makes no mention of it. Perhaps we should remove it. JFW | T@lk 15:55, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Sick euthyroid syndrome"
Is it worth mentioning that this is not "Wilson's thyroid syndrome," - apparently a source of confusion at Talk:Hypothyroidism ? --apers0n 12:00, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Presentation of symptoms after age 50
In the July 1999 Newsletter of the Wilson's Disease Association there is a story about a case that did not present symptoms until age 58. BellyOption 23:37, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- In the UK we stop getting Wilson screens on liver patients above the age of 45, unless suspicion is high. Is one case (in a non-scientific publication) going to determine the content of this article? JFW | T@lk 23:55, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
- The viewpoint on Wilson's is changing somewhat -- we're viewing it more as a rare disease that can present at any time, even though most present before the age of 35. Eve Roberts' AASLD guideline from 2003 started to address this: AASLD guideline. I've got one patient diagnosed in his early 50's. The Michigan group has many patients diagnosed in their late forties and fifties -- Samir धर्म 09:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
