Rare Diseases

Future of Rare Diseases Research

Due to the rarity and differences of rare infections, research needs to be worldwide to guarantee that specialists, researchers and clinicians are connected, that clinical trials are multinational and that patients can benefit from the pooling of resources over borders. It is still a reality for rare disease patients to spend a long time within the health care system before an exact conclusion is made. Research in rare infections is crucial as many patients still need proper diagnosis and left without compelling medications; it is also an region where expertise is also rare. In addition, research in this region is exceptionally significant from the scientific point of view as rare diseases are model diseases for more common disorders and are strong drivers of innovation. Next-generation sequencing and progressed information sharing have resulted in faster discovery of gene disease and thus diagnostics .
