Researchers May Have Pinpointed Cause of Debilitating Vascular Disorder

When you have been diagnosed with a severe mental or physical condition that is debilitating and results in permanent disability, you may qualify to receive Social Security disability benefits which can help offset lost income.

A report from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) reveals that their researchers have made the discovery of a possible genetic cause in vascular disease. Vascular disease is a condition that falls under NIH's "Undiagnosed Diseases Program" and is characterized by an arterial calcification that develops in the lower extremities.

This rare condition is painful, progressive and debilitating. It develops in the adult years and although it mimics symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis the exact cause has never been known.

New research indicates that a gene, NT5E, could be the cause of this disabling vascular disorder. Until this discovery, the disorder has been unexplainable to medical experts.

While this may help aid in possible treatment for vascular disease, the researchers also point out that it shows how important the study of genes may be in order to understand and potentially treat rare conditions. 

If you suffer from a rare, but debilitating medical condition, consulting with a Social Security disability attorney should be high on your priority list, particularly if you have questions concerning the criteria for Social Security disability benefits or if you have been denied benefits.
