Important article at the NYT highlighting the struggle patients, caregivers, and organizations like ours face in the development of treatments for rare genetic diseases. Only hundreds worldwide have been diagnosed with DeSanto-Shinawi syndrome.

Since the technology for bespoke genetic drugs debuted, about two dozen patients have received the infusions — costing as much as $2 million per patient. But hundreds of millions of others live with rare genetic diseases and have no treatment options. nyti.ms/3W9zFR1
