Track 1: Rare Diseases in Neurology

Neurological disorders are the diseases associated with the spine, brain and the nerves that connect them. It affects the body nervous system. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome, Aicardi-Goutieres syndrome, Acarida syndrome are few rare neurological disorders to specify. The central nervous system affected by Rare Neurological Disorders usually develops in infancy and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. There are various kinds of symptoms which are categorized in three main stages that provide a general basis for diagnosing individuals with LS. The symptoms of the stage I are characterised as stunted growth, vomiting, and diarrhoea.  Symptoms exhibited in stage II are example such as optic atrophy, uncoordinated movement, dystonia, hypotonia, and peripheral neuropathy. The symptoms of stage III are dysarthria, acute muscle and dysphagia, atrophy is common, with death being the outcome. It is necessary to study the physiological defects of brain and muscle structures in LS for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Track 2: Rare Mental and Behavioral Disorders

Abnormality is also called as dysfunctional behavior which refers to the behavioral characteristic assigned to those with conditions regarded as rare or dysfunctional. A Behavior is considered to be abnormal when it is atypical or out of the normal or usual,it consists of unpleasant behavior, and results in deterioration in the individual's functioning. Abnormality is one, which is considered as different from specific ethical social and cultural expectations. These expectations are broadly dependent on age, gender, traditional and societal categorizations. The definition of abnormal behavior is an often debated issue in abnormal psychology because of these subjective variables.

Track 3: Rare Pediatric Diseases

The majority of rare diseases affect children, most of whom have an underlying genetic cause for their condition. However, making a molecular diagnosis with current technologies and knowledge is often still a challenge. Pediatric genomics is rapidly evolving field but it is not well developed, that tackles this problem by incorporating next-generation sequencing technologies, especially whole-exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing, into research and clinical workflows. This difficult multidisciplinary approach, combined with the ascending availability of population genetic data variation, has already resulted in an increased discovery rate of causative genes and in improved diagnosis of rare pediatric disease. Substantially, for affected individual family members, a good and thorough understanding of the genetic basis of rare disease translates to more perfect prognosis, management, surveillance and genetic advice; stimulates research into new therapies; and enables provision of better support.

Track 4: Immunological Rare Diseases

The immune system is delegated to defend the body from attacks from outside or inside. Many diseases can affect immune system reducing its ability to defend self or inducing an abnormal response against external or internal antigens. Rare diseases affecting immune system present some issue in common with other rare diseases and some peculiarities due to the huge variability in the disease's expression. However, a correct estimation of the epidemiology of rare disorders is necessary for evaluating the prognosis and the responses to new therapies, for planning proper public health services, and finally to establish fair and sustainable prices for innovative medicines. The immune system is delegated to defend the body from attacks from outside or inside. Many diseases can affect immune system reducing its ability to defend self or inducing an abnormal response against external or internal antigens.

Track 5: Rare Diseases in Nephrology

Many rare diseases affect the kidneys and the urinary system, some limited to the urinary system itself (eg, membranous nephropathy), and some part of a condition (eg, Alport syndrome) that causes additional symptoms in other organ systems. With varying degrees of severity, these diseases can affect different parts of the urinary system (kidney glomerulus, kidney tubules, urinary tract, etc) causing numerous symptoms. Several of these diseases occur in the context of inflammation and autoimmune disease (eg, Goodpasture syndrome). Many rare types of vasculitis can also cause major kidney problems (eg, Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis). Disorders of kidney development, kidney metabolism, or substance transport within the kidney also exist. Some are directly heritable diseases caused by genetic defects (eg, cystinuria). Rare  diseases can cause acute kidney damage (which may be repairable), but more often result in chronic kidney disease.

Track 6: Rare Dermatological Disorders

Skin disorders differ significantly in indications and brutality. Rare skin diseases are mostly genetic. Genodermatoses are genetic skin disorders with cutaneous expression.  The Genodermatoses & Rare Skin Diseases therapeutic centres targeted mainly genodermatoses with a high effect on quality of life of patients and of their families and leading to a huge social handicap. There are many rare skin diseases like Atopic dermatitis(categorized by chronic inflammation of the skin), Epidermolysis Bullosa (inherited disorders in which the skin and mucous crusts are very delicate that the lightest touch can cause very painful), Icthyosis (dry, thickened, scaling skin).

Track 7: Rare Oncology

The many different types of rare oncological diseases include tumors of the body and hematological disorders of the blood. Although individually these malignancies are rare, as a group, they represent a significant majority of people with cancer.Certain characteristics of these malignancies differentiate them from more common types of cancer. Often, the cancer begins in a type of cell that only rarely becomes cancerous. This can happen in organs that are otherwise common sites of cancer growth. For example, although breast cancer is not a rare disease, angiosarcoma of the breast, which arises in the inner lining of blood vessels, is a rare cancer.

Track 8: Rare Diseases of Lymphatic System

These diseases occur very rarely, consisting of fluid-filled channels they are non-malignant masses or spaces thought to be caused by the abnormal development of the lymphatic system. These formations are usually detectable at birth or after two years of age. Lymphatic malformations can affect any part of the body (except the brain), but they most commonly affect the head and neck. When recognized at birth that is congenital, lymphatic malformations tend to be soft, spongy, non-tender masses. The most common symptoms and lymphatic malformations severity differs depending upon the size and specific location of the malformation. Some lymphatic malformations can be massive or huge Lymphatic malformations can potentially cause functional impairment of nearby structures or organs and disfigurement of affected areas Irrespective of size.

Track 9: Rare Nutritional and Metabolic Diseases

Metabolism is the chemical process which our body uses to transform the food we eat into the form energy or fuel that keeps us alive and energetic too. When the metabolism processes fails a metabolic disorder causes and results in the body to have either too high or too little of the essential materials needed to stay healthy. Our body is very sensitive to mistakes or errors in metabolism. The body must have amino acids and many types of proteins to perform all of its metabolic functions.  Calcium, potassium, and sodium ions are utilized by our brain to generate electrical impulses and to send signals, and also lipids and fatty acids to maintain a healthy nervous system.

Track 10: Rare Gynaecological and Obstetrical Diseases

Gestational Diseases (GTD) may be defined as bunch of rare diseases that develop within the womb throughout an abnormal physiological condition. It happens once when abnormal cells or tumours grow inside the tissues that are square measure shaped following conception that may unremarkably surround the embryo and transform the placenta. Redness is caused by Acute venereal disease which might result in the Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome (perihepatitis that causes higher right quadrant pain). Infection may become chronic, which are characterised by intermittent exacerbations and remissions.

Track 11: Treatment and Advanced Therapies options for Rare Diseases

Diagnosis and the treatment of a rare disease become complex because of the circumstances that numerous health care providers may have restricted involvement with the identification of the disease condition with the diagnosis of rare diseases. Additionally, analysis before manifestation onset or diagnosis early stage in the disease can be challenging. Biopharmaceutical experts in the field have utilized new advances and the developing investigative comprehension of many rare diseases to develop and diagnose ground breaking therapies over the last 10 years. In 2015 alone, about half (47%) of novel latest drug approvals were for rare diseases. Disease specific therapies need to be developed for productive results in treatment of Rare Diseases.

Track 12: Orphan Drugs Potentiality

An orphan drug is referred medicinal agent which has been developed to treat a rare medical illness or situation, the condition itself being defined to as a rare disease. Rare disease, also known as an "orphan disease", is any type of disease which affects a small percentage of the population. Majority of rare diseases are genetic, and hence are present throughout the individual's entire life, even if symptoms doesn’t appear immediately. Many rare diseases appear early in life, and about 30 % of children with rare diseases will die before getting 5 year old. With only a solo diagnosed patient, ribose-5-phosphate isomerase deficiency is presently considered to be the rarest genetic disease. No single cut-offs number has been decided upon for which a disease is considered rare. An illness may be considered rare in one part of the world, or in a group of people, but still be common in another country or group of people. According to a research over 55 million people are estimated to suffer from a rare disease in Europe and in the US, global estimates are between 5000 to 7000 rare diseases and new rare diseases are revealed every week and for many treatment is not available.

Track 13: Clinical case study on Rare Diseases

A clinical test is an experimentation designed to determine various scientific and consequence aspects of proposed treatment. It is important to remember that there is no guarantee a proposed treatment will be effective. Families should be prepared to balance the hope of participating in a clinical trial with the understanding that the therapy may not be optimal and could result in a serious negative outcome. Since some rare diseases can progress quickly, families often are willing to participate in risky, unknown treatments. Before agreeing to participate, everyone involved should fully understand these risks by carefully reading the consent documents and asking questions of the trial investigators. Most clinical trials related to treatments of rare diseases goes through 3 major phases.

Track 14: Rare Diseases of Bloodstream

Breakdown in regular process of blood cell growth and development leads to the cell types production in abnormally large quantities or in abnormal form. Some rare blood disorders especially those that are gene-based are easy to identify with a simple test, while others require substantial analyst work to successfully diagnose. Due to the large number of blood conditions common and uncommon, haematologists tend to be skilled investigators because they need to be specialists in differential diagnosis. This leads to blood cancers or other blood disorders. The most common blood cancers include leukemia, lymphomas, and multiple myeloma. There are few common blood disorders also. These include various myeloproliferative neoplasms, histiocytosis, and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria.

 Track 15: Rare Diseases of Endocrine System

Even though numerous endocrine system illnesses such as diabetes, thyroid, and osteoporosis are among the utmost common and well known medical conditions, some patients who have been referred to an endocrinologist will require treatment for a rare disease. Number of these rare diseases are dangerous and lead to myriad sequelae and secondary diseases. Gland-based hormonal imbalances resulting in developmental abnormalities and related complications are among these diseases ,weight regulation issues and physical abnormalities  and frequent carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic endocrine-related tumor disorders (eg, multiple endocrine neoplasia, neuroendocrine cancer adrenocortical carcinoma, papillary thyroid carcinoma, primary thyroid lymphoma). Rare endocrine diseases can potentially impact any organ system, however.

Track 16: Rare Musculoskeletal Diseases

A wide range of rare conditions involve the musculoskeletal system. Some, like Duchenne muscular dystrophy, arise from genetic problems in the muscles themselves, while others involve the nerves (eg, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease), motor neurons (eg, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [ALS]), or the bones (eg, osteogenesis imperfecta). Problems in other part of the body—such as mitochondrial disease or a metabolic disease like carnitine deficiency—can also lead to major problems with these systems. Many individuals are familiar with some of these conditions, thanks ,in part, to powerful advocacy groups. Nonetheless, treatment options remain limited—although extensive research may soon change that.

Track 17: Rare Hereditary Diseases

Researchers have made dramatic inroads into the study of polygenic and other complex human diseases, due in large part to knowledge of the human genome sequence, the generation of widespread markers of genetic variation, and the development of new technologies that allow investigators to associate disease phenotypes with genetic loci. Although polygenic diseases are more common than single-gene disorders, studies of monogenic diseases provide an invaluable opportunity to learn about underlying molecular mechanisms, thereby contributing a great deal to our understanding of all forms of genetic disease.

Track 19 : Orphan Medicinal Products

Orphan medicinal products are intended for the analysis, prevention or treatment of dangerous or very serious conditions that affect no more than 5 in 10,000 people in the European Union. Patients suffering from rare diseases deserve the same quality of treatment as other patients within the European Union. Given the small numbers of patients affected by rare diseases, the pharmaceutical industry has been unwilling in the past to invest in the research and development of medicinal products to treat them. The EU introduced new legislation in 2000 with the aim of providing incentives for the development of medicines for rare diseases (so-called orphan medicinal products).

Track 20 : Orphan Drugs strategies and developmental trends

As per the recent researches, the orphan drug market is now opening to display trends seen in traditional pharma markets. The number of orphan drug approvals have increased in recent years. Both novel agents and new indications serve as the primary drivers of this recent orphan drug growth. The new business model of orphan drugs could offer a cohesive healthcare resolution that enables pharma companies to develop newer areas of therapeutics, analysis, treatment, monitoring, and patient support. Additionally, the development of orphan drugs is faced with some challenges that are unique to rare diseases. In spite of the challenges, creative Competitive Intelligence (CI) strategies can provide an attentive and improved method for the successful development of orphan drugs.

Importance & Scope

There are more than 6000 Rare Diseases. Many rare diseases are diagnosed at the age of childhood, making diagnostic awareness and knowledge on treatment and care particularly important for pediatricians

The Rare Diseases are so rare that rarity can lead to several problems including: difficulties in obtaining timely, accurate diagnoses; lack of experienced healthcare supervisors; useful, reliable and timely information may be difficult to retrieve; research activities are very less; developing new pharmaceuticals may not be economically feasible; treatments are sometimes very expensive; and in developing countries, the problems are compounded by other resource limitations.

Rare Diseases Congress 2019 is emerging up with an exciting and high knowledge gaining conference program this year also which includes plenary lectures, symposia, workshops on a variety of topics, poster presentations and various programs for participants from throughout the world. We invite you to join us at the Rare Diseases and Orphan Drug Congress 2019 in Berlin where you will be sure to have a meaningful experience with scholars from around the world. The Rare Diseases Conference aims to extend the reach, impact and exchange of scholarly ideas through innovative technology, determined commitment and exceptional service. It aims to provide international collaboration and exchange of comprehensive and cutting-edge information on basic, translational, and applied clinical research on Rare iseases and Orphan Drugs.

Market Research Growth on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs

Nearly there are 7,000 different types of Rare Diseases and disorders it has estimated that 30 million people in the United States, 30 million in Europe and 350 million people over the globe suffer from Rare Diseases. Four by fifth of Rare Diseases are genetic in origin, among them affected individuals 50% of them will be children. The Rare Diseases are distributed in such a way that four fifth of the cases accounted by some 350 Rare Diseases. About only 5% of rare diseases are having approved drug treatment with only 326 new drugs being approved from the FDA and brought in to the market.

In 2018, Orphan Drug sales were of the order of 93 billion. Orphan Drugs represented 35% of the industry’s new drug approvals. The genetic diseases are subdivided by therapeutic area, which was leading the global market in the past will show similar traction in the coming next eight years. This segment is anticipated to be valued at US$ 56,241 by the end of 2025. According to Statistics of MRC, the Global Orphan Drug market is estimated at $145.89 million in 2018 and is expected to reach $265.63 million by 2022 growing at a CAGR of 10.5% from 2018 to 2022.
