Overview

The Rare Disease Collaborative Network (RDCN) adult mosaic disorders clinic provides diagnosis and care for people with mosaic disorders.

Mosaic disorders are a group of rare diseases. They're caused by a genetic mutation which affects the developing baby during pregnancy. This leads to a disease, seen at or after birth.

We see adults with diagnosed or suspected mosaic disorders including:

• congenital naevi (affecting different cells of the skin and underlying tissues)
• vascular anomalies
• overgrowth syndromes
• mosaic forms of germaline disorders (such as mosaic neurofibromatosis type 1, mosaic tuberous sclerosis)

Research and clinical trials

Research is vital to improving the care that you receive when you're unwell. You can help improve healthcare by taking part in research studies at our Trust. During your appointment, ask your healthcare professional about research. They'll be happy to tell you about research studies you could be eligible to join.
