# Official Resources

This page gathers the authoritative, primary sources on the PRRT2 gene in one place.

Throughout PRRT2.org, we explain this material in plain language and expand on it — but if you want to go straight to the original references, or share them with a healthcare provider, they are collected here. For how this site distinguishes established science from its own perspective, see [How to Read This Site](/how-to-read.md).

## Plain-language overviews

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.prrt2.org/resources/official-resources.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
