What this research studies
If you join, you would work with a team of doctors from genetics, neurology, immunology, and other specialties who review your medical history and prior tests. The site uses detailed clinical exams, genomic sequencing, and specialized lab studies to look for rare or newly recognized conditions. They accept referrals from across the Pacific Northwest and coordinate care and testing, with some visits done in person and some work possible remotely. The team also studies unusual cases to improve diagnostic methods for others with similar problems.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People of any age who have had a lengthy, unexplained diagnostic journey despite prior testing and who are willing to work with a regional specialty team are the best fit.
Not a fit: People whose condition already has a clear diagnosis or whose symptoms are unrelated to an underlying rare or genetic disorder are unlikely to benefit from this program.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: You might receive a diagnosis after a long unexplained illness, which can guide treatment, management, and access to resources or research.
How similar studies have performed: Other sites in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network have successfully diagnosed many patients and discovered new genetic conditions, so this approach has a strong track record.
