The IDeaS initiative: pilot study to assess the impact of rare diseases on patients and healthcare systems

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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.

Glucosylceramide synthase inhibition reduces ganglioside GM3 accumulation, alleviates amyloid neuropathology, and stabilizes remote contextual memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2022
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

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
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

open access: yesPharmacological Reviews, 2021
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

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
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 ...

Quantitative thresholds for variant enrichment in 13,845 cases: improving pathogenicity classification in genetic hearing loss

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2023
Background The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)/Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) guidelines recommend using variant enrichment among cases as "strong" evidence for pathogenicity per the PS4 criterion.
