The Dupuytren’s Foundation http://www.dupuytrenfoundation.org has officially partnered with Scripps research to establish a DNA bank of tissues affected by Dupuytren’s disease. This will be available to researchers interested in studying Dupuytren DNA. So far, 20 samples have been collected. If the gene is identified, progress toward acure will be greatly streamlined. Very exciting. Interested in donating your DNA to the cause? Contact The Hand Center http://www.handcenter.org 561-746-7686
