What is a Rare Carrier?
A Rare Carrier is the carrier of a rare genetic disease ~ mother, father, sibling, grandparent, aunt, uncle, married, single.
ANGEL AID will be honoring Rare Carriers in an effort to raise awareness for the carrier experience. This is a unique journey that often gets overlooked in the rare disease community.
