Hello fellow Wikipedians!

I would like to propose a few improvements to the page Laron Syndrome beginning with the use of Template:Infobox medical condition.

Relevant citations are lacking for the current information provided for pathophysiology and diagnosis. Introduction, presentation, and prognosis will be expanded and elaborated using open-source references consistent with WP:MEDRS.

I found the eponym and homo floriensis sections to be distracting and could benefit from restructuring under origins. Otherwise, I took no issue with the tone, neutrality or most of the references of the current version.

The original descriptions of LS published by Zvi Laron have been cited as resources. There are several recent open-source reviews available to expound upon the relationships between LS and aging, cancer, and Diabetes. Additional sources will be included for studies of isolated populations of people with LS in Ecuador.

I will post suggested edits to the talk page for your review prior to making page edits. (Dmil3422 (talk) 23:56, 29 October 2020 (UTC))
