Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In recent years, researchers have brought attention to the underrepresentation of people with disabilities in biomedical research, including genomics research. However, little is known about how disability-related experiences influence participation in rare disease research. This omission is striking, because rare diseases are associated with disabling phenotypes that affect multiple body systems. As part of a study interrogating the relationship between rare disease status and disability identity, we conducted mixed-methods research to address this knowledge gap.
