Option 1 -

 * Article title - Cancer epigenetics
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is written in a neutral tone with all scientific remarks cited. The content is relevant to the topic, it even goes into discussion of what genes cause specific types of cancers. The article does not inherently seem to tackle any of Wikipedia's equity gaps, but there is definitely opportunity for additions to be made for it to.

Option 3

 * Article title - Turner syndrome
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is neutral and all claims discussed are cited. The article does tackle some of Wikipedia's equity gaps through the discussion of how this syndrome presents in those of different race. The condition is only present in women due to its relation to the X chromosome. The most up to date sources cited in the paper are from 2021. I would be interested in seeing if there is any more recent publications related to this topic.

Option 4

 * Article title - Metabolic acidosis
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is written neutrally, however, there is room for improvement on the sources that contribute to the article in order to add additional information. The article does not outwardly address the Wikipedia equity gaps, but this is also an area where additional sources and information can be found and added. I appreciate that the article discusses both acute and chronic metabolic acidosis within different topics.

Option 5

 * Article title - Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article does tackle the Wikipedia equity gap through the discussion of the familial connection to the syndrome. This connection is considered a minority of overall number of affected individuals. This article contains a section that is empty and that provides an opportunity to make contributions, this is the diagnosis section of the topic. With the sources cited, they seem to have occurred in the 1970's and then again in the 2000's, this means there are roughly 20 years where no scientific information is utilized in the writing and production of the article.
