Parents of Children with Undiagnosed conditions The National Human Genome Research Institute at (NIH) is sponsoring a study that seeks to learn more about how parents of children with an undiagnosed medical condition think and feel about their child's condition. Men and women who are 18 years or older and have one child with a medical condition that has remained undiagnosed for more than 2 years are needed to take part in this study.
