message: I removed the very long quote from an Economist article. The Economist is not a terribly reliable source of evolutionary genetics, and it is another example of Gregory Cochran and his following trying to publish a hypothesis that the "typical" Ashkenazi inherited diseases have an evolutionary basis and that it both causes and explains their supposed "higher intelligence".
In fact, Gregory sent me a PDF of a long paper on the subject a few months ago. It sound very intelligent, but in the final analysis it is highly speculative and has not found much acceptance in the research community (to the point that he still has been unable to get this paper published). Can we please wait until this has made its way into a peer-reviewed publication? JFW | T@lk 01:45, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Mr Wolff (I assume):
I'm a Mexican mother who is very close and related to the man who publishes the "Pide un deseo.org" web page. This is the second ocassion that I try to add an external link to the page. I'm quite confident that the external link I'm adding is of great value to many parents who have kids with this disease, mainly because is a success history. Please, don't edit again, and other benefit (although in Spanish) with this example!
I'm Celia Palacios, and I'm willing to understand your reasons about this subject.

message: This isn't covered in the article at present, but GD can also result from a combination of two different mutations, like N370S/84GG. Severity in compound heterozygote Gaucher's may not easily fit into the usual type I/II/III categories. Whig 20:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Compound heterozygosity 

message: The article currently includes this: "In populations with high rates of carriage (Ashkenazi Jews and Norrbottnian Swedes and a few African American tribes)..."
What could posibly be meant by "African American tribes"? I'm an American. We have no tribes here, African or otherwise.
Yeah I also think it should say "African Tribes" instead. African Americans obviously no longer live in tribes.

message: the name of the disease may be hard for many people to pronounce - it would be a good candidate for audio recording of the article. Tkjazzer (talk) 21:21, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  I've completed an audio.  Would love to get your comments, especially if I  have mispronounced medical terms. Leotohill (talk) 01:58, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  would be great to get audio of this article 

message: The article says:
"Patients in this group usually bruise easily and experience fatigue due to low blood platelets."
However I don't think that low blood platelets lead to fatigue. As far as I know only low red blood cells count leads to fatigue.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.250.68.168 (talk) 15:02, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Review 

message: It is included in the category rare diseases, but it's not (explicitly) mentioned in the article.
There is a line saying it "is the most common of the lysosomal storage diseases", without mentioning these are rare disorders (although the hypertext does point that out). Without any mention that this is a rare disease, this line in the lead might give a wrong impression to a furtive reader.
I dont feel bold enough to make any changes, but noticed at least two of the sources already available name Gauchers disease rare in the title, if that helps any... 2A02:A210:A1C0:0:7427:4F4E:B722:B760 (talk) 21:48, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
