This database is maintained by Raymond Dalgleish, Department of Genetics, University of Leicester. The help of Matthew Lewis and Laura Kempton in the initial compilation of the type I and type III mutation data is gratefully acknowledged. More recently, Christiana Loizou has helped with data entry into the LOVD databases.
Get in touch if you wish to report an error or omission in the data.

Please do not use this form to send requests of the type "Send me all the info you have on . . ." Unfortunately, I only have time to respond to mutation-specific matters.
