Is it true that "The presence of woolly hair may indicate other problems such as with the heart in Naxos–Carvajal syndrome" or is it just one of the factors and The presence of woolly hair doesnt indicate problems such as Naxos–Carvajal syndrome but people who have the syndrame frequently have familial woolly hair. I would prefer the latter warning but I havent read the sources so I'll leave it you, but we should not cause concern unless we are sure. Victuallers (talk) 17:17, 18 July 2022 (UTC)

Meets length and newness requirements, well sourced and the included citation is adequate for all options. Personally, ALT2 or ALT3 is preferred - ALT 2 is similar to ALT1 but I think it makes the point in an understandable way, ALT 3 is interesting.
