Excerpt

In the recent years, a great interest has been given to rare diseases, that are over 6000 different pathological conditions, affecting more than 300 million people around the world, more than 70% with genetic pathogenesis, and more than 50% with neurologic or muscle involvement. For years, research projects have been developed, discovering many genes related to the pathogenesis of many disorders and also new therapies. …
