(US) National Institute for Health’s Down Syndrome Consortium website now online
Down Syndrome Reasearch and Treatment Foundation Newsflash, April 2013
Since its inception we’ve kept you posted on the NIH’s Down Syndrome Consortium, in which DSRTF participates through our Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Michael Harpold. Now we’re thrilled to pass along the news that its website has launched. This useful resource is designed to serve as a central portal for addressing research needs, communicating research findings, and accessing resources related to Down syndrome, including the National Down Syndrome Patient Registry expected to launch in July 2013. In the months to come as the site expands, parents and caregivers will find it to be an unparalleled source of reliable, accurate, up-to-date information about DS, carefully curated to support our community.
