Accelerating rare disease detection: an experience of multidisciplinary team model in undiagnosed diseases program in a children’s hospital
Our UDP targets an unmet need, namely the diagnosis of patients with complicated, multisystem illnesses. Using a multidisciplinary team model approach, this UDP pilot study achieved a reasonable diagnosis success rate, increasing the possibility of more diagnoses and new scientific discoveries of difficult and rare diseases.
