Canavan Disease 2012
Coming soon. Until then, go read some poetry!
Ent:
When spring unfolds the beechen leaf, and sap is in the bough
when light is on the wild-wood stream, and wind is on the brow
when stride is long, and breath is deep, and keen the mountain air
come back to me! Come back to me! And say my land is fair.
(Tolkien)

Mutations
Current knowledge about mutations associated with the disease. - Separate into disease causing and neutral mutations. -- These sequence pages will be the starting point for collecting prediction results and result discussions.
Note: Until further notice you only need to care about the reference sequence pages. -- At a later stage we will assign mutations we expect you to work on. Then, it will make sense to create on page per mutation that is assigned to you.
Reference sequence
Which sequence does not cause the disease and is most often found in the population.
Neutral mutations
Disease causing mutations
Diagnosis
- prenatal: NAA, mut ana
- postnatal: NAA, neuroimg, mut ana
