Description:
Establishing research models for any human disease is tricky business - more so for rare genetic diseases such as ataxia, telangiectasia, progeria, Paget’s disease, and Rett syndrome. Researchers focused on model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila, mice, zebrafish, and yeast rarely connect with clinicians who report a rare genetic disease. Yet, studies on model organisms have provided pivotal insights into the mechanisms of several rare genetic diseases. For a detailed discus
