The consortium's mission is to make testing more accessible, more accurate, and capable of delivering data quickly enough to inform the decisions patients face. The approach is collaborative rather than proprietary. It works to set shared standards, bring experts to the same table, and accelerate the needed research. GATC's model attempts to align is to align differing groups around what patient’s needs.

Some of the most important work in rare disease begins not in a laboratory, but with affected people who refuse to accept that "this is just how it is."

Cushing’s Syndrome vs. Cushing’s Disease — What’s the Difference?

Cushing’s syndrome is the umbrella term for any condition caused by prolonged exposure to excess cortisol, regardless of the source. That source may be a tumor in the body or external. This medication-induced form is called exogenous Cushing’s syndrome and is actually the most common overall.

Cushing’s disease is a specific type of Cushing’s syndrome. It occurs when a benign pituitary tumor (adenoma) produces too much ACTH, which in turn signals the adrenal glands to overproduce cortisol. It is the most common cause of endogenous (internally produced) hypercortisolism.
