Research
Funding Opportunities
The UDN has funded multiple rounds of gene function studies to elucidate the biologic mechanisms of genetic variants identified in the UDN.
Manual of Operations
The UDN Manual of Operations is a handbook that details the network’s research conduct and protocols in order to facilitate consistent adherence across all institutions participating in the study.
Model Organisms Screening Center
The Model Organisms Screening Center (MOSC) for the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) is composed of two Centers that use fruit fly, worm, and zebrafish genetics and biology to tackle rare and undiagnosed diseases. By combining state-of-the-art genetic and genomic technologies, the MOSCs investigate whether a rare variant identified in the genomes of UDN participants may contribute to disease pathogenesis.
