Differences in patient pathways for rare genetic diseases
Technological advances in diagnostic research
The importance of collaborative studies and data sharing
The impact of having (or lacking) a diagnosis on patients’ lives
The contribution of physiopathological and social science approaches in rare disease diagnostics

Thank you in advance for your support!
