About this journal
Encompassing all aspects of rare diseases and orphan drugs, Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases features high quality reviews and original articles in translational, clinical, and epidemiological research submitted from experts in the field, in addition to results of clinical trials of exceptional interest. The journal is also interested in the topics of public health, quality of life, drug and research policies, and health economics in rare diseases. We utilize section editorial boards featuring subject specialists in the many different types of rare diseases we cover. As the official journal of Orphanet, the portal for rare diseases and orphan drugs, we serve an essential role in a domain where there are more questions than answers.
