CheckOrphan gave me access to the news and information that I needed for my disease. Not only did the disease page have a disease description, but it also contained news articles to a company that was working on a cure. I also found research publications that had information about researchers and physicians doing work with the disease, although I did not understand the information, I knew to contact the people for more information.
I am very grateful that they make so much information available. Very comprehensive
