It is estimated that 3.5-5.9% of the population have a rare disease. Approximately 70% of rare diseases are genetic. With the advent of whole genome sequencing and other genomic testing, the cause for many genetic disorders can be found. Treatments for these disorders are appearing regularly. Rx-Genes provides information about current treatments and treatments that are in clinical trials for genetic diseases.

Rx-Genes is designed for physicians, clinical molecular laboratory directors and other health care providers who are looking for information related to the treatment of genetic disorders and the supporting literature. The site is focused on genetic disorders where treatment is directed against the mechanism of disease rather than disorders where management is symptomatic.
