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.
