FOR PATIENTS AND CAREGIVERS
NATURAL HISTORY STUDY
Natural history studies are vital to understanding rare diseases. It studies the hallmarks of the disease and how they progress over time, while unfolding patterns that might otherwise go unnoticed. A longitudinal natural history study can track the course of the disease from inception to the point that the patient is chronically disabled to beyond. It is intended to describe all aspects of the disease and identify demographics, genetics, environmental impact, and other variables that correlate with the disease and outcomes. The Wolverine Foundation is working with Columbia University to support this important study.
