MitoCanada is committed to curating an active list of clinical trials important to patients and mitochondrial disease research.

University of Manitoba | Caregivers of Children with Rare Genetic Diseases Study
-
- A rare disease diagnosed in 2018 or after (2018 to present)
- A suspected rare disease who has gotten a genetic test in 2018 or after (2018 to present)
- You have interacted with a Canadian clinical geneticist or genetic counsellor during your child’s diagnostic journey
- You can complete a written online survey in English, French, or Simplified Chinese
We anticipate that the survey will require approximately 15-20 minutes of your time and is available to complete in English, French, and Simplified Chinese. If you would like to complete the survey in more than one sitting, you will have the option of using a ‘return code’ to save your responses and return to the same survey later.
We kindly ask that you do not post this link on public forums including social media.
