NORD asked the rare community via social media and outreach to its member organizations and Rare Disease Centers of Excellence network to share their questions about genetic testing to answer in the one-page infographics and videos. Answers to those frequently asked questions are presented in an engaging, animated format and cover topics such as \u201cWhat genetic tests are used to diagnose rare diseases?\u201d and \u201cWhy should I consider genetic testing for me or my child?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>These new resources on genetic testing were made possible through educational grants from Alnylam Pharmaceuticals, Horizon Therapeutics, and Sanofi.
