Cut and paste job

Much of this not-well-written article appears to be mostly lifted from other sources. It therefore needs some serious rewriting.

/* Signs and symptoms */

In Marshall J, Paisey RB, Carey C, Macdermott S. Alström syndrome. GeneReviews. May 31, 2012 Obesity indicates to occur in 98% of cases (Table 3. Age of Onset and Incidence of Common Features of Alström Syndrome) while in the article it's 100%. 98% is based on New Alstrom syndrome phenotypes based on the evaluation of 182 cases. Arch Intern Med. 2005;165:675–83. Is it an original research or should we correct the number and add the source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by US812 (talk • contribs) 12:02, 28 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
