About Rare Resources
The Rare Resources guides have been produced by Genetic Alliance UK for families who have recently received a diagnosis of a genetic or rare condition, are on the journey to a diagnosis or who have been told their child’s condition is so rare they might not get a diagnosis.
These guides are downloadable toolkits of information and sources of support for people living with genetic, rare and undiagnosed conditions in Scotland.
The guides contain a wide range of general information on rare, genetic and undiagnosed conditions as well as information on how to access reliable information, care and support.
They were developed in collaboration with families supporting children living with genetic, rare and undiagnosed conditions.
