An online locus-specific mutation database for familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
1Department of Molecular and Clinical Genetics, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Camperdown, NSW, Australia. dfung@med.usyd.edu.au
Abstract:
The aim of this locus-specific mutation database was to provide an online resource that contains summarised and updated information on familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC)-associated mutations and related data, for researchers and clinicians. It also serves as a means of publishing previously unpublished data, which could be of value in understanding genotype/phenotype correlations. There are 123 FHC-associated mutations catalogued along with ancillary information. By implementing the cgi/http method, remote users can query the database via the HTML interface on the Web browser and obtain data of relevance to them. The online service is available on http://www.angis.org.au/Databases/Heart.
