The conjecture on one-element extensions and deletions of difference sets

From papers

Let GG be a finite group, and let an ADS be obtained from a difference set in GG by adding or removing one element. The one-element ADS conjecture. If GG is cyclic or has odd order vv, then no other difference sets form an ADS by adding or removing an element. The conjecture is motivated by the exhaustive examples described in the paper, which occur in 22-groups; the source gives no resolution status.
