An online locus-specific mutation database for familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

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 It also serves as a means of publishing previously unpublished data, which could be of value in understanding genotype/phenotype correlations.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. Hum Mutat 14:326–332, 1999.
