Enrollment of study participants
To recruit and enroll participants with a confirmed rare genetic disease whose genetic variants may be targetable by an ASO and/or other drug.
Time frame: 5 years
Collection of biospecimens
Total number of biopecimens collected which may include blood samples, skin biopsy and fibroblast culture, organ biopsy specimens
Time frame: 5 years
Partnered research with external entities
To engage in partnered research with external entities (foundations, academia, and drug companies) to facilitate the ASO and/or other drug development and testing.
Time frame: 5 years
Future IND applications

Time frame: 5 years
Determine individualized therapeutic efficacy
To determine clinical efficacy of treatment with experimental ASO and/or other drug.
Time frame: 5 years
Publish findings
To publish and/or share findings to improve patient specific ASO and/or other drug development and increase the number of therapeutic options for individuals with rare genetic disease.
Time frame: 5 years
