Frequently Asked Questions About Genetic Testing
The Rare Diseases Registry Program (RaDaR) is an informational website created to provide guidance to patient communities about creating disease registries that they may use to communicate with researchers. While it provides information about registry platforms and selecting the platform that aligns best with the goals of the given group, RaDaR itself does not store patient information.

NORD RareCare patient assistant programs help patients afford necessary medications and treatments through directly providing medication, providing financial assistance with insurance premiums or co-pays, helping with diagnostic testing, and helping with travel for clinical trials or to see a specialist.

Genetic Alliance Registry and Biobank (GARB) is available to nonprofits, and offers reduced rates for biobanking and registry services. Vendor laboratories also offer genetic testing analysis via microarray, RNA or DNA isolation, bioinformatics analysis, and customized kits. GARB has its own Institutional Review Board (IRB), which has reviewed each of its membership agreements, consent forms, and other documents.
