The Kids researchers who helped identify rare disorder now poised to help the hunt for treatment

Two The Kids Research Institute Australia researchers recognised for their role in building a global database for CDKL5 deficiency disorder are now helping to set the scene for clinical trials of much-needed potential treatments.

Rare Diseases

While individual diseases are rare, as a group, rare diseases are common. Recent estimates suggest that between 3% and 6% of the world’s population are affected by rare disease.

Treat early to protect lungs
