Having seen this in earlier posts, I have wondered if there really is a
greater incidence in Europe due to the genetic link of Europeans?  Just
because it is 1:200 in Europe should we then expect that all Asians should
also be 1:200?  All Eskimos?  All Africans?
 
I have no doubt there is some underdiagnosis in U.S. (and elsewhere) -- but
is it really that bad?  I don't think U.S. doctors are really any worse than
in other parts of the world.  In fact, I would hope they have more informaton
than most.
