Abstract

Genetic disorders affect millions worldwide but remain underrecognized in many low- and middle-income countries. In Pakistan, the lack of a centralized genetic disease registry has resulted in scattered data, inconsistent documentation, and limited understanding of genotype-phenotype relationships. This gap restricts both research and clinical decision-making. To address this need, we developed a comprehensive rare disease registry using open-source, non-proprietary tools to ensure low-cost implementation and adaptability in resource-limited settings.
