To
accelerate

Goal:
To
establish
an
interna(onal

pa(ent
registry
for
all
rare
diseases
• Established
by
David
Pearce,
PhD
in
2010
• Create
resource
of
contact
informa(on
and
clinical
data
on
individuals
diagnosed
with
any
rare
disease
to
enable
a
compara(ve
analysis
across

• Connect
researchers
to
par(cipants
interested
in
par(cipa(ng
in

• Partner
with
pa(ent
advocacy
groups
to
create
disease
specific
registries

*The
term
“disease”
is
used
to
encompass

CoRDS
Registry
The
CoRDS
registry
collects
&
organizes
contact
and
clinical
informa(on
on
individuals
diagnosed
with
a
rare
disease
as
well
as
those
undiagnosed
8. Registry

Natural
History
• Natural
history
is
the
natural
course
of
the
disease
from
the

immediately
prior
to
its
incep(on,
progressing
through
its
pre-‐symptoma(c
phase
and
different
clinical
stages
to
the
point
where
the
disease
has
ended
without
external
