Prevalence[edit]

The lede, and indeed the main text, states that this condition affects less than 200,000 people in the US and less than 1 in 2000 in Europe. These figures, though accurate on a strict interpretation of "less than", are nevertheless thoroughly misleading - they're based on the respective territories' maximum definitons of a "rare condition", meaning that the actual figure could be (and probably is) very much lower. Do we have any more accurate estimates of real prevalence? --11:09, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Those are the only sourced figures I find; but I will change the wording :) Good idea! Rcej (Robert) - talk 01:48, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Overall:
Pass/Fail:

I will get started on this in depth tomorrow. Regards, MacMed^talk _stalk 02:46, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks pretty good so far, no major issues. Now combing for image problems or issues with MoS compliance. Regards, MacMed^talk _stalk 22:35, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On hold for now. Regards, MacMed^talk _stalk 22:59, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comments[edit]

No period at the end of the X-chromosome caption. Doesn't form a complete sentence.

Done

The reference "Hereditary hearing loss and its symptoms" needs an accessdate.

Done

The {{Main}} in "Cause and Genetics" needs to be at the top.

Done

"Cited Literature" should be renamed to "Works or Publications" and moved above the references section.

Done

The "et. al" and the dates when you refer to studies need to go. That information is available in the references and just clutters up the article.

Done
