For a variety of reasons, the GeneReviews Editors occasionally remove chapters from the active website. See the table for a list of the chapters that have been retired and the reasons why they were retired. An archived version of these chapters may be accessed; see Note following table.
Note:
- Retired chapters are no longer searchable in GeneReviews Advanced Search; however, you can use the following URL and hand-enter the chapter SHORTNAME (see table) to access the archived version of a retired chapter: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/n/gene/SHORTNAME.
- The information in retired chapters is for historical reference only and is potentially misleading as it does not reflect current approaches to diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling. — The Editors
