Dr. Martin Carroll (UPenn), co-investigator of the RUNX1 Patient Tissue Bank, discusses this important new initiative and its goals. Akmal Salimov, the study’s clinical research coordinator, also shares step-by-step instructions for participating through the Matrix platform.

The presentation covers:

• Why a centralized tissue bank is critical for rare disorders like RUNX1-FPD

• What types of samples are collected and how they’re used in research

• How patients can easily participate by mailing in a sample kit after a routine appointment

• How this initiative is integrated with the RUNX1 Patient Data Hub for more meaningful insights
