Sanford Health is now a member of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN), a research study backed by the National Institutes of Health which seeks to provide answers for patients and families affected by mysterious illnesses.
“Through this collaboration, patients will work with some of the best geneticists, researchers, genetic counselors and other providers in the region who will work diligently to find a diagnosis or treatment options for those with a rare disease or symptoms similar to that of a rare condition,” said Rachel Li, M.D., principal investigator and geneticist at Sanford Health.
Sanford joins other prestigious health care organizations to help patients living with undiagnosed conditions further explore their genetic profile and partner with other physicians and researchers to see if a diagnosis or treatment plan can be made.
Sanford will enroll at least five patients per year. As of October 2024, the UDN has evaluated more than 2,600 participants and provided more than 825 diagnoses.
