Links backing my prior post . . .

Here's one concerning the types of Gaucher's and which ones see neurological problems:

I have not seen mention of neurological problems in connection with Cerezyme, so I'm not in complete agreement with Rick's contention on the T/FIF thread that some safety issues can be tolerated in Vevesca. Adverse reactions to Cerezyme are pretty minor & uncommon. Here's the Cerezyme package insert:

Wilder, thanks for the link to the webcast. I should be able to get to that later today. Whether or not I can reconcile these issues, I'll post my final thoughts. Interesting that OGSI is composing an anecdotal database of neurological effects of the disease. It's not like this disease hasn't been studied for a century; are they implying these effects went unnoticed by the medical community until recently? How noticeable are the effects in question? Hence my interest in the types of the disease the patients have that OGSI has been dealing with. I agree with Ralf that Vevesca failure would not hurt OGSI as much as a lead compound failure would hurt another biotech; it seems failure has been priced in.

Cheers, Tuck
