UDN seeks to explain medical conditions with no known cause

The Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) is a research study that is funded by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS). The WUSTL Clinical Site and Model Organism Screening Core are also funded by the Edward Mallinckrodt Department of Pediatrics, Washington University School of Medicine. The purpose of the UDN is to bring together clinical and research experts from across the United States to solve the most challenging medical mysteries using advanced technologies.

Through this study, we hope to both help individual patients and families living with the burden of undiagnosed diseases, and contribute to the understanding of how the human body works.
