About HudsonAlpha
Proceeds from the Double Helix Dash support HudsonAlpha’s work with rare and undiagnosed genetic disorders, which affect some 25 million children and adults across the country. Through the Clinical Sequencing Exploratory Research (CSER) program and the Smith Family Clinic for Genomic Medicine, HudsonAlpha is providing life-changing and life-saving answers to families struggling with rare and undiagnosed diseases. Using our cutting-edge sequencing technology, HudsonAlpha scientists have already provided much-needed diagnoses for children in our community.
This effort is changing lives across North Alabama. Jessi Watts, a CSER patient from Decatur, is the 2018 Double Helix Dash Childhood Champion. She was diagnosed as autistic in 2005, but HudsonAlpha’s team discovered the genetic traits for Rett syndrome in February 2014. Jessi is just one example of how HudsonAlpha’s work is not only providing answers, but also delivering hope and peace of mind.
