PROJECT SUMMARY In our current healthcare system, it often takes years before patients with rare conditions and rare presentations of common conditions receive a diagnosis. In 2013, the National Institutes of Health supported the creation of the Undiagnosed Diseases Network (UDN) to address the needs of these patients, to facilitate the diagnostic process for those with undiagnosed conditions and generate new knowledge about underlying mechanisms of disease. The UDN was successful in solving medical mysteries, shortening diagnostic odysseys, and contributing to biomedical research discovery. In order to serve more patients, the UDN process must be scaled and integrated into broader healthcare and research ecosystems. As the Data Management Coordinating Center (DMCC) for a network of Diagnostic Centers of Excellence, Harvard Medical School will leverage experience in the UDN to create sustainable, nationally scaled infrastructure to support diagnosis, research, and care for those who are undiagnosed. This will be accomplished by bringing together experts in trans-institutional data sharing, data analysis, clinical care, bioinformatics, novel diagnostics, and translational research and creating three DMCC Cores - Administrative, Data Management, and Clinical Research Support - to address unmet needs of the undiagnosed. The Administrative Core will unite the DMCC and support activities of all three Cores. Together, the DMCC Cores will accomplish four aims: 1) Scale up UDN throughput by at least an order of magnitude to meet a pressing national need, 2) Leverage partnerships for sustainable coordination of diagnostic processes to increase patient autonomy while advancing opportunities for investigative science, 3) Maximize data mobility, interpretability, and shareability, and 4) Provide analytic service and data stewardship through the Data Management Core and Clinical Research Support Cores led by experts in genomics and AI teaming with clinicians and researchers.

项目概要 在我们当前的医疗保健系统中，患有罕见疾病和罕见疾病的患者通常需要数年时间才能康复。 常见病症的表现可以得到诊断。 2013年，美国国立卫生研究院支持 创建未确诊疾病网络（UDN）来满足这些患者的需求，以促进 为那些未确诊的疾病提供诊断过程，并产生有关潜在疾病的新知识 疾病机制。 UDN 成功解开了医学谜题，缩短了诊断时间 奥德赛，并为生物医学研究发现做出贡献。为了服务更多患者，UDN流程 必须扩展并整合到更广泛的医疗保健和研究生态系统中。作为数据管理 哈佛医学院卓越诊断中心网络协调中心 (DMCC) 利用 UDN 的经验创建可持续的、全国规模的基础设施来支持诊断、 研究并照顾那些未确诊的人。这将通过汇集各领域的专家来完成 跨机构数据共享、数据分析、临床护理、生物信息学、新型诊断和转化 研究并创建三个 DMCC 核心 - 行政、数据管理和临床研究支持 - 解决未确诊患者未得到满足的需求。行政核心将联合 DMCC 并支持 所有三个核心的活动。 DMCC 核心将共同实现四个目标： 1) 扩大 UDN 吞吐量 至少一个数量级，以满足紧迫的国家需求，2) 利用伙伴关系实现可持续发展 协调诊断过程，以增加患者的自主权，同时增加治疗机会 调查科学，3) 最大限度地提高数据移动性、可解释性和可共享性，以及 4) 提供分析 通过数据管理核心和临床研究支持核心提供服务和数据管理 基因组学和人工智能专家与临床医生和研究人员合作。
