* Download Region Anomaly Group data as Excel spreadsheet  [Help]

Caseswith more than one anomaly within a group are counted only once. Numbers refer to when a case including that anomaly, not necessarily the anomaly itself, was first suspected. As cases may have more than one anomaly, the data cannot be interpreted to accurately reflect diagnosis dates for specific anomalies; this interpretation does however become more reliable when looking at more major anomalies, because they are normally the first detected.
