Dr. Sessions Cole shares his career being a neonatal pulmonologist and his involvement in the undiagnosed diseases network, the UDN. Dr. Cole estimates that it can take up to 12 years to get a diagnosis for a patient with a rare genetic condition and that there could be as many as 30 million of these patients in the U.S. who are undiagnosed.
