MDI Newsletter No. The 4th draft of the proposed MDI allele variant entry form was done in the last 2 months. Comments were received from 40 members so far. This draft is still on the website for comment until the San Francisco meeting Oct. 19th. A final decision re the form will be made there.
Turkish database is now available, others are under construction.
Finnish, Jewish, Chinese, Arab and India mutation databases. Australian database which hopefully will act as a model is now in the discussion stage. No tangible material has come from this group yet, hopefully an article being written by the Co-Chair of this group will stimulate some discussion after it is published. The allele variant Entry form is almost done. It will be finalized in San Francisco.
