I found this material especially helpful, as I had not heard of such a disease before. Regardless, this source provided me with a great introduction into this condition, that was well broken down and easy to understand. I liked how there was an opportunity to dive deeper with the other collections that are linked to this source. The additional information on clinical trials which you can sign up for was also a unique resource which may be very useful to those who suffer from this disease.
