It's the story Becky Quick never thought she would tell.  Her own.As a mom to a child with a rare genetic disease, Squawk Box co-host Becky Quick dove into the hidden world of the many ways biological chance can change our lives. Thirty million Americans have a rare disease, which impact small numbers of patients.  Two-thirds of those thirty million are children; 95% of rare diseases don’t have an FDA-approved treatment. But despite those eye-popping numbers, millions of people continue to suffer from diseases that often go overlooked by the broader healthcare industry. Small patient populations mean drug companies and investors aren’t willing to invest in the space, and outdated regulatory frameworks make the process of developing lifesaving treatments too slow for the families that need them.Becky and her husband Matt Quayle share the journey of their 9-year old daughter Kaylie, who has a rare genetic condition called SYNGAP-1.  Over the next several episodes of The Path, Becky will highlight the unique challenges faced by millions of Americans, put a spotlight on the bottlenecks slowing progress in the rare disease space, and talk with stakeholders who have the power to bring about change.Join us in advancing awareness and understanding of rare diseases.

While the State Department and President Trump have issued slightly different statements on the prospect of acquiring the country from Denmark, questions about implications for NATO remain.
