A day to shine a light on the millions of individuals and families around the world affected by rare chromosome and gene disorders.
These conditions may not always be visible, but their impact is profound—touching development, health, learning, and daily life in ways that are often complex and unpredictable.
Chromosomal disorders result from abnormalities in chromosome number or structure, including extra or missing chromosomes, deletions, duplications, or translocations. Each case is unique, and often, there are no simple answers or clear paths forward.
While many of these conditions have no cure, the focus remains on improving quality of life. Advances in medicine and supportive care have significantly enhanced the outlook for many individuals. Some people with milder forms can live semi-independently or work in supported environments. For families, the journey can be marked by emotional, physical, and financial challenges—but also by deep resilience, love, and growth.
Clinical research offers hope for better outcomes and improved quality of life. At GCT, we are proud to bring our years of experience in rare disease clinical trials to support these efforts. If you’d like to learn more, please reach out to us at bd@gctrials.com.
Together, we can help rare feel a little less rare. 💜
