We were excited to attend our first ever Global Genes Rare Disease Conference in Irvine, California September 14-15, 2017. Joining together with many rare disease patient groups, researchers, clinicians and scientists – all working on discovering cures – we were able to share stories and learn strategies to tackle the many challenges facing those with rare diseases.
