Dutch term or phrase: een kanttekening maken
I'm drawing a blank here. Must be lack of sleep.

Tevens wordt benadrukt hoe groot de invloed is van de aandoening op het dagelijkse leven van patiënten. Hierbij valt de volgende kanttekening te maken. Het gaat hier niet om geen fatale of invaliderende ziekte, maar vooral een hinderlijke klacht - etc.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hoi. In de rest van de alinea kraken ze redenering verder af. meer context is er niet. Het gaat om hoe de farmaceutische industrie opdracht geeft tot onderzoeken die plotseling ontdekken hoe wijdverbreid een bepaalde "ziekte" is, en dan aankondigen dat zij er gelukkig een medicijn voor te koop aanbieden. Meer context in de discussie.
