Rare Disease pathways at WikiPathways

This portal highlights WikiPathways content related to rare genetic human diseases, and is designed

as a central organizing point for exploring, curating and expanding the collection of rare disease pathways.

A rare or orphan disease is a disease which affects relatively few people. The exact definition varies
between 1:1000 and 1:200.000. E.g. it can be 1:1500 (USA) , 1:2000 (EU) or 1:2500 (Japan). Rare diseases
are mostly caused by genetic variation making them chronic and hard to cure. The severity depends on
the affected gene and its physiological implications.

This portal is also featured in the latest NAR Database Issue on WikiPathways.
