ISSN 2572-9411
An open access, peer-reviewed rare diseases journal publishing research on rare disorders and orphan drugs.
About the Journal
The Journal of Rare Diseases Research & Treatment is a peer-reviewed, open access journal devoted to orphan diseases: conditions that each affect few people but together present some of the hardest diagnostic and therapeutic problems in medicine. It brings researchers, clinicians, patient advocates and policymakers together to share evidence and move the field forward.
Clinical research is central, including studies and case reports describing unusual presentations, diagnostic pathways and management. Because so many rare conditions have a genetic cause, the journal also welcomes work on genetic mutations, genomic medicine and targeted therapies. Translational studies that turn basic findings into treatments or diagnostic tools are encouraged, as are epidemiology, public health and health policy research on the burden of rare disease.
The journal also publishes work on emerging therapies and new research methods, and gives space to patient perspectives, advocacy and community initiatives that improve quality of life for affected families.
Original research, reviews, case reports and perspectives are considered. All articles are peer reviewed, open access under CC BY 4.0 and assigned a DOI.
