The National Institutes Of Health (NIH) has just begun a new program to help doctors working with rare diseases.

Seven centers, including the NIH headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, are participating in the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) for which a patient portal, called UDN Gateway, has been setup to recruit potential study subjects.
In addition, two DNA sequencing centers will be involved in providing genomic information gathered from patient samples.
The UDN Gateway provides a central place for patients to apply for the program. It’s an online platform. The program expects to sign up approximately fifty patients in each of the participating clinical facilities.
