Why Should I Get Genetic Testing If I Already Have a Diagnosis?

The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) has published new animated videos in English and Spanish about why rare disease patients should get genetic testing if they already have a diagnosis.  These resources provide basic information about genetic testing and how to access it. They also address why it may be important – even for those who have a diagnosis – to know the specific gene changes or variants that cause their disease. For instance, knowing the specific variants may: 

  • help the medical team plan more personalized patient care, 

  • determine eligibility for research studies, and 

  • be helpful in family planning.
