RDR
Student run medical review journal and organization aiming to translate complex rare disease research for the general public and to support patients. Our articles cover rare disease research, policy, and health information. We aim to bridge the gap between patients, families, support groups, rare disease researchers and physicians. We also strive to bring awareness of rare diseases and their societal impact throughout our community.

Our topic for this episode is Friedreich's Ataxia.
r this episode, we are going to dive into a rare hereditary disease called Friedreich’s ataxia. Friedreich’s ataxia is a genetic, progressive, neurodegenerative movement disorder. To better understand the scientific research on Friedreich’s ataxia, I spoke with Dr. Ngo, a Ph.D. graduate from the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Western University. Dr. Ngo focused her studies on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of oxidative stress which, in Friedrich’s ataxia, is an important contributing factor in the progression of the disease.

Our topic for this episode is Miyoshi Myopathy.
Miyoshi Myopathy is genetic disorder that causes muscle dystrophy. It is a rare disease that currently has no cure. We have invited Dr. Yuning Wang, a Ph.D. graduate of Biochemistry at Western University, to help us better understand the scientific research progress on treating Miyoshi Myopathy. Her research focus is the structure and function of dysferlin, a protein that is believed to be the cause of muscle dystrophy.
