Abstract

Rare diseases are diseases that affect fewer than
1 in 2,000 people. Due to their rarity, it can be extremely
challenging for doctors to diagnose these diseases in their
patients — it often takes 6 – 8 years for some patients
to get a diagnosis. Even though they are uncommon,
rare diseases still have a significant impact on families
and communities and need greater attention. Fatal familial
insomnia (FFI) is a rare disease that affects the brain and
gradually reduces a person’s ability to sleep. FFI gets
worse over time and causes severe complications. There is
currently no cure for FFI, so more research is crucial
— not only for understanding FFI but also for unlocking
potential treatments for other rare diseases. Rare disease
research brings hope for a better future to those living with
FFI and other rare conditions.

Which of the following is the best summary of the abstract?

## Alternativas

- **A)** Fatal familial insomnia is a rare genetic disorder that
 causes a gradual inability to sleep. Future research
 progress will hopefully lead to better treatments
 for FFI.
- **B)** Rare diseases are challenging to diagnose,
 and fatal familial insomnia is one such disease that
 primarily affects a person’s sleep. Research into
 FFI and other rare diseases is key for finding
 new treatments. ✔ **correta**
- **C)** It takes 6 – 8 years for most people to get a
 diagnosis for a rare disease, so doctors need to be
 better trained to recognize them.
- **D)** Research is needed to find a cure for FFI because
 it gets worse over time and causes severe
 complications, and there is currently no cure.

## Resposta correta
