Abstract

Last year we successfully introduced a new journal: The Journal of Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs (JRDOD) is a peer-reviewed open-access medical journal that publishes original research, reviews, case reports, and letters covering a broad field of its specialty. We intend to publish articles stimulating to read, educate, and inform readers with the most up-to-date research in genetics, rare diseases, and new orphan drug development in different stages of clinical trials. Journal topics are centered on patients living with undiagnosed rare diseases, the importance of a diagnosis, individual approaches to treatments. We hope that this journal will increase awareness of many difficult to diagnosed and treat medical conditions.
