The path to a diagnosis can be a long and arduous journey for the patients affected by rare diseases. This Rare Disease Day, we honor the courage and resilience of the millions of people navigating this path. “When taken together, ‘rare’ diseases affect one in ten people, making them a significant public health opportunity,” said Dr Sarah South, Executive Director of Clinical Genomics at Quest Diagnostics. “Advances in comprehensive genomic sequencing now allow a single test to provide new insights across thousands of rare diseases—accelerating our pursuit of truly personalized diagnostic insights.” #RareDiseaseDay
