  • Document the information about the disease in this Wiki: Create a link in section Diseases.
  • Here is a minimal list of aspects to look for:
    • Phenotypic description of the disease.
    • Biochemical disease mechanism.
    • Info about the gene and inheritance.
    • Current knowledge about mutations associated with the disease.
  • Try to find connections between your data, e.g.
    • How are the symptoms related?
    • Why does a defect in that gene cause the observed phenotype?
