Rare Disease pathways at WikiPathways
This portal highlights WikiPathways content related to rare genetic human diseases, and is designed
as a central organizing point for exploring, curating and expanding the collection of rare disease pathways.
A rare or orphan disease is a disease which affects relatively few people. The exact definition varies between 1:1000 and 1:200.000. E.g. it can be 1:1500 (USA) , 1:2000 (EU) or 1:2500 (Japan). Rare diseases are mostly caused by genetic variation making them chronic and hard to cure. The severity depends on the affected gene and its physiological implications.

Special Issue: Workshop planned
We are currently planning to have a workshop and training event on the making of and curation of rare disease pathways organized by the EJP-RD later this year. The planned date will be in the second half of 2019, location will be Maastricht University, The Netherlands. Let us know if you are interested by mail.
Funding
This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
