Rare Disease Day is taking place on February 28th, 2022. This year, Retina International is raising awareness for the importance and benefits of genetic testing and counselling for IRDs.

Genetic testing is the only way to definitively diagnose an IRD, yet there remain a number of barriers to accessing genetic services. Retina International recently undertook a two-phase study investigating the current global genetic testing landscape. For this Rare Disease Day, we are sharing the results from this study, increasing awareness on the benefits of genetic testing and counselling, and mobilising the wider global community.

We encourage you to download the tweets, social media assets, and Genetic Testing Fact Sheet below to use on your own channels. These materials are available in the following languages: English, Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese. Tag us (@retina_int) and other organisations in your community, and use the hashtag #KnowYourCode to spread the message!

Join our campaign and help raise awareness for the importance of genetic testing and counselling for IRDs!
