The ICGNMD:
- Brings together experts from all over the world to collaborate in diganosis and research in NMDs
- Trains medical professionals who work with NMDs in genomic medicine, in their own countries
- Works to increase global access to genomic medicine, so more patients’ care can be informed by genetic information
- Builds a diverse world-wide cohort of patients with NMDs and their families, and increase their access to clinical trials.
