WHAT IS A RARE DISEASE?
A rare disease in Europe is a disease affecting less than 1 in
2,000 citizens
In the United States, a rare disease is any disease or condition
that affects 1 in 1,500 people
 29 million people affected in the EU
3 million people Spain
3 millions people in France (1 in 20)
600 000-800 000 people in Portugal
3.5 million people in the UK
1 million people in the Netherlands

CHARACTERISTICS OF RARE DISEASES
 Chronic
 Progressive
 Degenerative
 Life-threatening
 Disabling
 Lack or loss of autonomy
 Difficult to manage
 Patients are few and
geographically spread
 Research is fragmented
 Resources are limited
 Experts are few
 Specialised care centres for each
disease cannot exist in every
country
 Relevant information is little

RARE DISEASES (RD) AS A PUBLIC HEALTH PRIORITY
EU Regulations on:
Orphan Drugs (1999),
Paediatric Use of Medicines (2006),
Advanced Therapies (2007),
Commission Communication (2008),
Council Recommendation on Rare Diseases (2009),
EU Directive on Cross Border Health Care establishes rare diseases
as a public health priority in its Article 13 (Brussels, 21 February 2011).

Orphan Medicinal Product Regulation:
development costs > expected return on investment
7,000-8000 rare medical conditions , less than 300 have therapies available to treat
them
What are the EU incentives ?
Market Exclusivity for 10 years after grant of EU marketing authorisation
Fee Reductions: reduction of centralised regulatory fees via a special fund from EU budgetary
authority
Centralised Procedure: direct access to EMA centralised procedure for marketing authorisation
EU-Funded Research grants from Community & Member State programmes
Protocol Assistance: free scientific advice to optimise development
 Application for Orphan Designation demonstrate orphan criteria have
been met:





life-threatening or debilitating nature of condition
medical plausibility
prevalence < 5 in 10,000 or unlikely to generate sufficient return on investment
no satisfactory methods exist or medicinal product will be of significant benefit
Diagnostic tool can apply for orphan designation

Several medical exams

Delays in diagnosis
Without diagnosis patients and families cannot access effective

 access to social services

CDG DIAGNOSIS
Screening techniques:
• Transferrin isoelectric focusing (TF-IEF)
• Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE)
• High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC)
Techniques for further
investigation of CDGs:
• Measurement enzymatic deficiency or the genetic
mutations
• Lipid linked oligosacharides (LLO) (type I)
• Apolipoprotein (Apo) CIII (type II)
• Glycan analysis (type II): mass spectrometry (ES-MS) or
MALDI-TOF
Confirmation of CDG
diagnosis
1999-2009:
oCDG I a – I g, …:
oCDG II a – II c, …:
• enzymatic deficiency (few enzymes are measurable)
• or the genetic mutations: Exome Sequencing
2009: PMM2-CDG (CDG-Ia)

Specific treatment
• Specific treatment is available for only one CDG,
namely PMI-CDG (CDG-Ib):
– simple daily oral mannose supplementation is an effective
treatment for patients with this potentially lethal disorder
• Some patients with SLC35C1-CDG or leukocyte adhesion
deficiency type II respond to simple supplementation of oral
fucose (alleviates clinical symptoms)
• In PIGM-CDG that causes histone hypoacetylation, butyrate
increases PIGM transcription and its supplementation was able to
control seizures in one reported patient

Symptomatic treatments and

Failure to thrive
Consider nasogastric tube or gastrostomy

Glasses, patching, or surgery
Stroke-like episodes
Low doses of aspirin

Consider consultation with a
gastroenterologist/nutritionist
Osteopenia
Bisphosphonate therapy in severe forms
Pericardial effusion
Corticosteroids and salicylic acid, pericardial
drainage
Scoliosis/kyphosis
Surgical treatment in severe forms
True hypothyroidism

INTERVIEW
The challenges that families face?
Facing a rare disease diagnosis: challenges
 Delays in order to obtain the precise and accurate diagnosis:
Misdiagnosis
Passing through all sort of medical tests and procedures before an
accurate diagnosis
Understanding the diagnosis
Feeling guilty
Lack and unavailability of scientific and medical information related
to CDG (Language barrier)
Scarcity of experienced physicians and medical centers specialized
Struggling to identify and access available resources
Health care and social support services are designed for patients
with common diseases
Adult: follow-up done by family medical doctor for 10 years
