Amazing presentations from these fantastic organizations that are hitting out of the park as a part of the #RareAsOne network with @cziscience. We loved hearing from @KIF1A, @TheChampFound, @lifraumeni and getting an update on the CHI CRN of course 😉

Errors in the DNA of our #mitochondria – the batteries that power our cells – cause devastating diseases.
Researchers @MRC_MBU have shown in mice that it may be possible to correct these errors using gene-editing: bit.ly/3GBQLhU
