Overview

Restriction endonuclease analysis permits classification of MCV into at least two types, named 1 and 2, of which type 1 is much the commoner, but there is as yet no consistent evidence relating the virus type to the clinical appearance of the lesions or to their anatomical distribution.

• The overview section should include the disease name in the first sentence.
• The goal is to summarize the page in several sentences, usually stating the categories that the disease is classified by.

• Overview for Classification of Non-Malignant Diseases

• First Sentence:

[Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups: [group1], [group2], [group3], and [group4].

OR
