Rare diseases (RD) are a diverse collection of more than 7–10,000 different disorders, most of which affect a small number of people per disease. Because of their rarity and fragmentation of patients across thousands of different disorders, the medical ...

Generating health technology assessment evidence for rare diseases [PDF]
Objectives: Rare diseases are often heterogeneous in their progression and response to treatment, with only a small population for study. This provides challenges for evidence generation to support HTA, so novel research methods are required.

Background Gangliosides are highly enriched in the brain and are critical for its normal development and function. However, in some rare neurometabolic diseases, a deficiency in lysosomal ganglioside hydrolysis is pathogenic and leads to early-onset ...

Opportunities and Challenges for Machine Learning in Rare Diseases
Rare diseases (RDs) are complicated health conditions that are difficult to be managed at several levels. The scarcity of available data chiefly determines an intricate scenario even for experts and specialized clinicians, which in turn leads to the so ...

Therapeutic Targeting of the Complement System: From Rare Diseases to Pandemics
The complement system was discovered at the end of the 19th century as a heat-labile plasma component that “complemented” the antibodies in killing microbes, hence the name “complement.” Complement is also part of the innate immune system, protecting the

Current HHT genetic overview in Spain and its phenotypic correlation: data from RiHHTa registry
Background Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare vascular disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. Disease-causing variants in endoglin (ENG) and activin A receptor type II-like 1 (ACVRL1) genes are detected in more than 90% of cases ...
