Establishing a consortium for the study of rare diseases: The Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium. Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 100(Sup 1):S97-S105.
The Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium (UCDC) was created as part of a larger network established by the National Institutes of Health to study rare diseases. This paper reviews the UCDC's accomplishments over the first 6years, including how the Consortium was developed and organized, clinical research studies initiated, and the importance of creating partnerships with patient advocacy groups, philanthropic foundations and biotech and pharmaceutical companies.
