616:#1 and #2 don't seem to fit with each other. Something that occurs in 1 out of every 200 males and 6 out of every 200 females should occur in about 7 out of every 400 people, or about 1.75% of people. And if it occurs 7.5 times more often in women than in men, wouldn't it occur in just about 4% of females? Obviously "males and females" doesn't exactly equal "men and women", since the latter excludes children, but (1) this sounds like it's uncommon in childhood, so maybe we can ignore children, and (2) if children are a major factor, they should have rates comparable to that of adults, which couldn't be the case if the difference I'm seeing were the result of children appearing in #1 but not #3.
522:, the author says (item VI): "Basedow’s disease plays a major role in Svevo’s novel. After she gave birth to twins (an archaic sign of mimetic crisis that is by no means incidental) the disease affects Ada, Guido’s wife and Zeno’s sister-in-law, whom the latter had fancied as a wife for himself and whom he desires still. She now is deprived of health and beauty. By meditating on this pathology, Zeno reaches the conclusion that health is a median value between the two extremes of a scale." 2) In
526:, the authors say: "Zeno himself likes to analyze life in terms of health and disease, especially Basedow’s disease." 3) In the book "Literary Diseases: Theme and Metaphor in the Italian Novel" (available in Google Books), the author also mentions Graves's disease (using the name Basedow's disease) as an important aspect of the novel. All those examples come from literary analyses of a medical topic (not medical ones), but clearly indicate that there is notability in that topic.
283:

409:", a significant novel in Italian literature, fulfils the notability requirement. Besides, it makes the article more comprehensive, just like the "Notable cases" section, which is not of strict biomedical relevance either. Maybe it could be rephrased to something like "Grave's disease is mentioned in the novel..." or maybe the topic should be renamed to something less specific, such as "In literature and popular culture".
