TRAPS Genetic testing - from Sam Breit (Includes Link for RCPA Genetic Testing Database)

Dear All

Thanks to Professor Sam Breit for his query on availability of testing for TNF R mutations in TRAPS.

 {" I have a patient who might have TRAPS.  Does anyone in Australia test for TNF receptor mutations, especially the low penetrance genotypes ?"}
This gives me the opportunity to highlight an excellent on-line resource detailing genetic tests performed in Australia, and the laboratories offering them.
