Index Number: 13005 This information is from the National Organization for Rare Diseases's database on Compuserve. NORD is an organization that specializes in information on rare diseases and will put you in contact with other people or parents of children with the same disease or disorder. Their address is: The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) P.O. Box 8923 New Fairfield, CT 06812 (USA) Phone: (800) 999-NORD (In CT): (203) 746-6518 NORD has information on some 500 rare disorders and also has information on orphan drugs. NORD can also be reached on Compuserve. I got this information during the summer of 1990 and NORD last updated it in 1989 so it may have been updated since then (sorry, Compuserve charges add up quickly so I can't do another search). Contact NORD for more up to date information.
