Rare diseases often don't get much attention because they're just that — rare. Each one affects fewer than 200,000 people in the U.S., but collectively, they're surprisingly common. And there are no treatments available for the majority of these diseases. In this episode of U Rising, host Julie Kiefer talks with Jill Hawkins, who has two children with a rare disorder, and Clement Chow, an associate professor of human genetics, whose lab is searching for treatments that may benefit Jill’s children and others with rare diseases.
