This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare disease is a disease that occurs infrequently in the general population, typically affecting fewer than 200,000 Americans at any given time. More than 30 million people in the United States of America (USA) and 350 million people globally suffer from rare diseases. Out of the 7000+ known rare diseases, less than 5% have approved treatments. Rare diseases are frequently chronic, progressive, degenerative, and life-threatening, compromising the lives of patients by loss of autonomy. In the USA, it can take years for a rare disease patient to receive a correct diagnosis. The socioeconomic burden for rare disease is huge. For those living with diagnosed rare diseases, there is no support system or resource bank for navigating financial, educational, or other aspects of having a rare disease. The purpose of this Research Topic is to bring together leading researchers, non-profit organizations, healthcare providers/diagnostic companies, and pharma/biotech/CROs in the field to provide a broad perspective on the latest advances, challenges, and opportunities in rare disease research. A genomic approach to rare disease research is becoming the key to discovering unknown causes behind these syndromes. Genomic rare disease research has attracted not only academic researchers but also researchers from the biotech/pharma and non-profit organizations. The breadth and depth of current genomic approaches in rare disease is largely unexplored. While the creation of novel CRISPR mouse models and the use of NGS (ChIP Seq, RNA Seq, etc) have become more routine for fields such as oncology, rare disease researchers are now making advances in modifying and applying these approaches for rare diseases. This Research Topic provides a fruitful platform for rare disease researchers to share their findings and advance the field of genomics research in the rare disease space.
Download or read book Rare Diseases written by Mani T. Valarmathi and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2021-09-22 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rare disease is any disease or condition that affects a small percentage of the population. Many rare conditions are life-threatening or chronically debilitating, and unfortunately do not have appropriate treatments, rendering them incurable. In recent years, there has been substantial development in the area of rare disease research and its clinical applications, for instance, rare disease biology and genomics, epidemiology and preventions, early detection and screening, and diagnosis and treatment. In this context, this book consolidates the recent advances in rare disease biology and therapeutics, covering a wide spectrum of interrelated topics, and disseminates this essential knowledge in a comprehensible way to a greater scientific and clinical audience as well as patients, caregivers, and drug and device manufacturers, especially to support rare disease product development. Chapters cover such diseases as Felty’s syndrome, Löfgren’s syndrome, mesothelioma, epidermolysis bullosa, and more. This book is a valuable resource not only for medical and allied health students but also for researchers, clinical and nurse geneticists, genetic counselors, and physician assistants.

Download or read book Rare Diseases written by Meral Özgüç and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-08 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on predictive, preventative and personalized medicine (PPPM) and how it is related to the healthcare of rare diseases. Readers will discover how advanced rare diseases healthcare provides an excellent “proof-of-principles” for the personalisation of healthcare systems on a global scale. Chapters look at national plans for rare disease, at biobanking, gene identification, rare cancers, virus gene therapy , induced pluripotency for cell therapy amongst other topics. There is a chapter dedicated to personalized medicine for hereditary deafness and another exploring the complexity of genotype-phenotype correlations. Specific diseases such as Fabry's, Gauchers and mitochondrial cytopathies are highlighted and we look at enzyme replacement therapy in lysosomal storage diseases. This work is part of a series, produced with the involvement of the European Association for Predictive, Preventive and Personalised Medicine. The series focusses on the concept of an integrative medical approach by PPPM. This volume is dedicated to all aspects related to the prediction, prevention and personalised treatments of rare diseases, and in doing so it explores developments relevant to all medical branches. The authors cover ethical considerations, the creation of a robust platform for professional communication, synergies with patient organisations, “doctor-patient” collaboration and a new philosophy of integrative medicine by PPPM. This volume serves as a reference source for scientific and medical centres in the field and can be used both at medical curricula and graduate level in the life sciences. Those who place a special emphasis on healthcare promotion and innovations intended to combat rare diseases, save the affected lives and enhance life quality will all find this book of great value.

Download or read book Rare Diseases Diagnosis Therapies and Hope written by Ana Sanfilippo and published by . This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives readers a firsthand look at the impact genome sequencing and other advanced techniques are having on rare diseases. It is unique in that it goes beyond the clinical side of the topic and includes very personal stories told by the families living with rare diseases. “These rare diseases are collectively so common, affecting over 300 million globally,” says co-author Dr. Jimmy Lin, MD, PhD, MHS. The key to assembling such a comprehensive resource was the year long process RGI undertook to examine the topic from all sides. The guide brings together interviews and visits with families that are currently battling rare diseases along with leading experts. The results of all this hard work is a valuable resource that will educate and inspire hope. “We are part of a growing movement to raise global awareness of rare diseases, and we are so pleased to be able to offer one of the early books for families living with rare diseases,” said the book’s co-author Ana Sanfilippo. The book includes twenty expert interviews and remarkable stories from families like: - Amylynne Volker, whose son was the first child saved through DNA sequencing - Dallas police officer Mark Dant who raised over $3M for research that saved his son Ryan’s life - John Crowley, who saved his own children’s lives through creating a new company to develop a new drug, which is now the standard of care - Retta Beery, whose twins, Noah and Alexis, are alive due to her own exhaustive medical research and genomics.
