International Precision Child Health Partnership (IPCHiP): an initiative to accelerate discovery and improve outcomes in rare pediatric disease

Abstract Advances in genomic technologies have revolutionized the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases, leading to the emergence of precision therapies. However, there remains significant effort ahead to ensure the promise of precision medicine translates to improved outcomes. Here, we discuss the cha...

description Abstract Advances in genomic technologies have revolutionized the diagnosis of rare genetic diseases, leading to the emergence of precision therapies. However, there remains significant effort ahead to ensure the promise of precision medicine translates to improved outcomes. Here, we discuss the challenges in advancing precision child health and highlight how international collaborations such as the International Precision Child Health Partnership, which embed research into clinical care, can maximize benefits for children globally.
