Amy and Jason Lair wanted to know why their son, James, was small and didn’t progress physically like others his age. After years of searching for answers, they found them through the Undiagnosed Diseases Network at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Washington University serves as one of the network’s clinical sites that evaluates patients, such as James.
