Nigel,

In poking around Gaucher's websites, I notice that neurological problems are associated with type 2 & 3 forms, which are supposed to be rarer than type 1. Do we have any idea what types are represented in this trial? If they are all type 1s -- for which I have seen no reference to neurological symptoms -- OGS' saying that neurological problems are associated with the disease would seem disingenuous. Supposedly the details of the presentation were to be made available on the website, but I haven't found them, and have found the website to be difficult to navigate -- maybe it's just my ongoing browser problems. Could you have a look?

Diarrhea might be managed, considering Vevesca will cost 1/3 as much as Cerezyme (and has applications in other indications), but neurological problems are indeed another kettle of fish.

Hope I haven't been stupid taking the company at its word on this issue.

TIA & Cheers, Tuck
