Written By: Derek Ansel, MS, CCRA, Executive Director, Therapeutic Strategy Lead, Rare Disease Given that 80% of rare diseases have a genetic etiology, genetic implications should be addressed at the onset of a clinical program to support trial enrollment. One diagnostic example that I discussed in my presentation is autism.
