Genomic map
of rare diseases
This is a genomic map of 3,039
rare diseases with genetic
causes. The spiral graphic
represents the human genome.
It’s formed of 2,071 segments,
each containing 1.5m DNA
base pairs. The green dots
show where the genetic
mutations are located for each
of these diseases.
Inspired by the work of
Martin Krzywinski ‘Genes that
make us sick’.

drug discovery methods, it will take a very long
time to find treatments for all these diseases.
Here at Healx, we are changing that.
