This work is a part of the Route Maps for Rare Conditons project, facilitated by the Genetic Alliance UK and funded by the Department of Health in England. 



"A Route Map is defined as a comprehensive, living guide which will signpost the way to health and social care for patients and families to help improve access to information, leading to earlier diagnosis, improved care and support. Route Maps will also benefit health and social care professionals providing them with information to enable them to work in conjunction with patients and families to plan for their care."
