New avenues for rare disease treatment

Drug Target Review

Almost every one of us will know someone with a neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. It is less common to know someone with a rare genetic disease; but while individually rare, collectively they have an enormous impact. This will, in turn, slow the progression of, or even halt, the disease.
