+<h2>Sep. 19, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; Developmental Disorders Gene2Phenotype (DDG2P) for hg38 and hg19</h2>
+<p>
+We are pleased to announce the release of the <a href="https://www.deciphergenomics.org/ddd/ddgenes"
+target="_blank">Developmental Disorders Genotype-to-Phenotype (DDG2P)</a> track for
+<a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg19&g=ddg2p&position=default" target="_blank">hg19</a> and
+<a href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&g=ddg2p&position=default" target="_blank">hg38</a>. The DDG2P
+track displays genes associated with severe developmental disorders. The track can be used to
+filter genomic sequencing data of people with genetic disorders to identify likely causative
+variants and accelerate diagnosis.
+</p>
+<p>
+Items in this track are colored according to the likelihood that the gene-disease
+association is true:</p>
+<ul>
+    <li> <font style="color: green;"><b>Green</b></font> - Definitive</li>
+    <li> <font style="color: blue;"><b>Blue</b></font> - Strong</li>
+    <li> <font style="color: orange;"><b>Orange</b></font> - Moderate</li>
+    <li> <font style="color: red;"><b>Red</b></font> - Limited</li>
+    <li> <font style="color: gray;"><b>Gray</b></font> - Refuted</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Each <b>mouseover</b> tooltip provides the following information:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li><strong>G2P ID</strong>: Unique identifier assigned by the Gene2Phenotype (G2P) database.</li>
+  <li><strong>Number of PubMed IDs</strong>: Count of publications associated with the variant.</li>
+  <li><strong>Molecular Mechanism</strong>: Description of the molecular processes and interactions
+      causing pathogenic effects.</li>
+  <li><strong>Allelic Requirements</strong>: Number of alleles required at a locus to produce a
+      pathogenic phenotype (e.g., monoallelic, biallelic).</li>
+  <li><strong>Variant Consequence</strong>: Predicted effect each allele of a variant has on a
+      transcript.</li>
+  <li><strong>Disease Name</strong>: Name of the disease associated with the variant.</li>
+  <li><strong>Date of Last Review</strong>: Most recent date the entry was manually reviewed.</li>
+</ul>

 <h2>Aug. 21, 2025 &nbsp;&nbsp; MaveDB Experiment Heatmaps and Alignment track for hg38</h2>
 <p>
 We are excited to announce the release of the <a target="_blank"
 href="/cgi-bin/hgTrackUi?db=hg38&position=default&g=mavedb_maps">MaveDB Experiment Heatmaps and
 Alignment</a> track for hg38. This release provides heatmaps of <b>m</b>ultiplexed <b>a</b>ssays of
 <b>v</b>ariant <b>e</b>ffects (MAVE) from <a target="_blank" href="https://mavedb.org/">MaveDB</a>.
 Each heatmap presents the results of an experiment where many small substitutions were tested within
 a gene to examine their functional consequences. Accompanying tracks display alignments of each
 experiment sequence to the genome.
 </p>
 <p>
 Please note that only a subset of MaveDB experiments could be displayed as heatmaps; the sequence
 alignments in this track only cover those experiments.</p>
