RARE DISEASES AND GENETIC DISCRIMINATION
Journal Title: Journal of IMAB - Annual Proceeding (Scientific Papers) - Year 2011, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
Rare diseases are characterised by their low prevalence (less than 1/2,000) and their heterogeneity. They affect both children and adults anywhere in the world. From the medical perspective, rare diseases are characterised by the large number and broad diversity of disorders and symptoms that vary not only from disease to disease, but also within the same disease.
