rare disorders
Rare disorders, also known as orphan diseases, are medical conditions that affect a small percentage of the population. These disorders can be genetic, infectious, or autoimmune, and often present unique challenges for diagnosis and treatment due to their low prevalence. Examples include Huntington's disease and Cystic fibrosis, which require specialized care and research.
Due to their rarity, many of these disorders lack sufficient funding for research and may not have effective treatments available. Patients with rare disorders often face difficulties in finding healthcare providers who are knowledgeable about their condition, leading to a need for increased awareness and support within the medical community.
