Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford (CoRDS)
Based at Sanford Research, a nonprofit research institution, CoRDS is a centralized international patient registry for all rare diseases.
We coordinate the advancement of research into more than 10,000 rare diseases. Here’s how:
- We work with patient advocacy groups, individuals and researchers.
- We capture health information from individuals with a rare diagnosis, undiagnosed patients, unaffected carriers or at-risk patients.
- We connect researchers and patients and notify our participants of emerging clinical trials.
- We make the registry accessible. Participants can enroll for free and researchers can access it for free.
