About Rare Genomics Institute Israel
RGI-Israel was established in order to support local Israeli patients with rare genetic diseases of unknown origin, based on the model of RGI-USA. In fact RGI-Israel works in close collaboration and under the guidance of RGI-USA. The Israeli population is made up of a unique genetic pool. Thus, the combined USA-Israel teams can leverage this collection of genomes together with current knowledge and tools to better understand the cause of rare genetic diseases.
