Living with a rare disease

Edited by: Dr Ségolène Aymé 

The 28th February 2015 marks the eighth international Rare Disease Day coordinated byEURORDIS. The theme of Rare Disease Day 2015 is “Living with a rare disease” - paying tribute to the millions of families whose daily lives are impacted, and who are living day-by-day, hand-in-hand with rare disease patients.

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases publishes cutting-edge review articles to provide the rare disease community with up-to-date information on specific rare diseases. We hope to improve the lives of patients with rare diseases by expanding knowledge among health professionals and caregivers. This article collection summarises some of the most highly accessed review articles from 2014.
