Rare diseases Hub
The rare diseases hub brings together a collection of learning resources on a variety of conditions which are considered to be ‘rare diseases’. In the UK and Europe, a rare disease is considered to be one with a prevalence of less than 1 in 2000 individuals. Conditions affecting the neuromuscular system – in children and adults – predominate, but there are also courses on neuroendocrine neoplasms, glycogen storage diseases, alkaptonuria (AKU) – also known as ‘black bone disease’ – and lipoedema.
