Behind the Mystery
A specialized, recurring segment devoted to rare and genetic diseases, Behind the Mystery highlights the emotional, scientific, and medical aspects associated with rare and genetic diseases. We clarify the often-complex issues by offering easy-to-understand explanations from top experts in the field, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and those diagnosed with rare diseases. Behind the Mystery works with organizations like Global Genes and the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) to expand awareness, educate the public and provide the viewer with early diagnosis and treatment options.
