This program aims to constitute national and European-scale cohorts of patients with rare diseases (RD) for research purposes, with the following objectives:

• Better describing the natural history of such diseases,
• Identifying their molecular bases,
• Establishing phenotype-genotype correlations,
• Elucidating their physiopathology,
• Identifying new therapeutic targets,
• Assessing their medico-economic and societal impact.

The RaDiCo research program is coordinated by the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm). It falls under the responsibility of Professor Serge Amselem of the joint research unit UMR-S 933 “Genetic diseases of pediatric expression” at the Armand Trousseau Hospital, hospital-university group of the Public Assistance-Paris Hospitals (GHU AP-HP), Sorbonne University, and under the joint responsibility of Professors Annick Clément (Sorbonne University) and Paul Landais (University of Montpellier).
