Patient Stories
In this section a number of our patient/parent representatives
share their personal stories and why they are interested in genetic
information. Some stories have more details to help us grasp the level
of health complexity that some patients are dealing with, a long
journey they have gone through to find an answer, and how they expect
genetic information to help them with better managing health outcomes.
Please note that our Engagement project is not focused on any specific
disease. We would be happy to add more patient stories, please feel
free to send us your story!
