Find Your Condition in the CoRDS Registry
In the United States, the National Institutes of Health defines a rare disease as one that affects fewer than 200,000 people. Some 10,000 rare diseases affect 25 million Americans and 350 million people worldwide.
The Coordination of Rare Diseases at Sanford (CoRDS) registry was created to support research by collecting information directly from individuals and families affected by rare conditions.
CoRDS is a general rare disease registry. Individuals with any rare disease may participate, even if their condition is not widely studied or does not have a dedicated registry.
