Trial Now Recruiting: Genome Medical Sequencing for Gene Discovery (NCT01087320)

Researchers are recruiting 2,000 people with rare genetic disorders to participate in a study using a new technology called genome sequencing. This technology reads a person's entire genetic code to find which gene is causing their disease. The goal is to help doctors better diagnose and treat patients with rare conditions that are hard to identify with current testing methods.

WHY IT MATTERSIf you or a family member has an undiagnosed rare disorder affecting development or birth defects, this trial could identify the genetic cause—potentially opening doors to targeted treatment and genetic counseling for relatives.
