Ten for Rare

VEO-IBD

  • recruited and performed whole- exome sequencing (WES) or whole genome sequencing (WGS) on >1,750 VEOIBD patients.
  • assigned definitive genetic diagnoses for >200 VEOIBD patients with >100 unique gene mutations identified. 
  • identified 21 new monogenic diseases that include manifestations of VEOIBD: identified 7 epithelial and 18 immune novel VEOIBD genes. 
  • identified mosaicism as a disease mechanism in VEOIBD.
  • suggested definitive therapies in > 75 VEOIBD patients, including curative hematopoietic stem cell transplants. 
  • established collaborations with >250 physicians and patient-care givers.
  • published >155 peer reviewed VEOIBD-related scientific articles, including 4 foundational “standard of care” publications.
  • employed the VEOIBD Consortium’s website to increase global awareness of our mission, generating 121 VEOIBD patient referrals. 
  • identified potential novel therapeutic solutions for unique forms of VEOIBD.

“The Care-for-Rare Foundation provides a unique framework for us to further our work identifying the genetics causes of VEOIBD. We hope this will push our understanding of disease and eventually new cures for severly sick patients. The Care-for-Rare Foundation has done an amazing job bringing together clinicians and scientists from around the world to push this forward.”

ALEIXO MUISE, MD, PHD
Co-Director, IBD Centre, Hospital for Sick Children, University of Toronto, Canada

“The  Helmsley Charitable Trust supports the Care-for-Rare Foundation as part of a worldwide initiative to help children with early onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Our funds both help children and their families who are in dire need, and may also unlock clues to the disease to help develop new treatments and a cure for everyone with IBD. Dr. Klein and his team are connected to medical centers across the world, bringing hope to many children and their parents.”
