note

First of all I'm not a medical student and I don't know much about scientific realities about this particular page about Ollier disease. Still I feel compelled to question the authenticity of one single fact provided in this page.

For instance, the disease has been tagged 'nonhereditary'. I know this for a fact that this is not entirely true. I know a patient of this disease who has a whole family history of the same bone abnormality. Meaning his grand father, father, two uncles, one aunt, and one of his siblings (who died of Maffucci syndrome) all had some symptoms more or less. Except the case of that particular sibling, all other cases in his family has symptoms which are essentially benign.

If this is a discrete example then so be it. It still needs to be cited in the article that not always but sometimes it is indeed hereditary. All over, I think this article needs some medical student's opinion who has the particular expertise.

The way Wikipedia works is that its content is found in published sources. Therefore, Wikipedia, like its sources, may contain errors. Your information on the subject is regarded as WP:OR until it is published in a reliable secondary source.--Quisqualis (talk) 19:45, 2 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
