feat(DPYD): add c.557A>G African ancestry variant — NHS RHO 2024
Browse files- Gene entry: add named_variants picker (*2A, *13, c.557A>G) with
equity alert banner when c.557A>G is selected
- Sidebar: named variant selectbox replaces fixed pos for DPYD
- key_snp updated to include c.557A>G
- nursing_note: expanded with NHS RHO health equity warning
- NMC: add Platform 2 (promoting health / preventing ill health)
- Quiz: 5th question on NHS RHO 2024 c.557A>G recommendation
- Clinical cases: 3rd case — Adaeze (African-British) — missing
variant scenario with full model answer citing NHS RHO July 2024
- Population data: dual-variant row (*2A / c.557A>G) with equity note
- Glossary: c.557A>G entry added
