The Collaboration, Education, and Test Translation (CETT) Program for Rare Genetic Diseases was developed by the NIH Office of Rare Diseases.

• To promote new test development for rare genetic diseases
• To facilitate the translation of genetic tests from research laboratories to clinical practice
• To establish collaborations and provide education about each rare genetic diseases; related genetic research and clinical impact of testing
• To support the collection and storage of genetic test result information in publicly accessible databases to leverage the information into new research and new treatment possibilities
