Announcement of MDSGene

Investigators from LIGA and the Institute of Neurogenetics today announced their upcoming launch of MDSGene, the Movement Disorders Society Genetics database. MDSGene aims to provide a comprehensive, systematic overview of published data on movement disorder patients reported to carry causative gene mutations. The official launch of the resource will happen during the 20th Congress of the International Movement Disorders Society which takes place in Berlin between June 19-23. After AlzGene, ALSGene, and PDGene, MDSGene (which will become available at www.mdsgene.org) represents the fourth genetics database developed by the LIGA team. The launch announcement was published as an editorial by members of the MDSGene team in the journal Movement Disorders.
