The Neuromuscular Disease Foundation

Patient & Carrier Advocacy: NDF strives to create a two-way connection between patients and scientists in order to maximize patient understanding about the latest research and treatment options being developed; and for physicians, scientists, and pharmaceutical companies to gain a better perspective, not only about patients needs and experiences, but also about how this impacts families as well.

Outreach & Education: A significant part of NDF's mission is preventing and suppressing the symptoms of GNEM in patients through screening and public education. NDF values the importance of educating physicians about this rare disease. We focus on educating the public about carrier screening aids, particularly for those in populations with higher carrier rates.
