Clinical management primarily consists of close attention to and monitoring of diet and activity and avoidance of prolonged fasting. In addition, patients and caregivers must be alert for signs of life-threatening metabolic decompensation. As a result, LC-FAODs can have significant and wide-ranging impacts on the lives of patients and their caregivers. This article describes the effects of LC-FAODs at different life stages and in the context of the North American healthcare system from the perspective of a group of patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers (<i>n</i> = 6). We explain how challenges and needs change throughout life. Following an early diagnosis, an adjustment phase occurs during which caregivers may feel overwhelmed by their new roles and deeply concerned for their children's futures. As children grow, they become more aware of the differences between themselves and their peers, and with increasing independence comes more responsibility for managing their own condition. Major life events, such as new employment and moving house, pose challenges for people of all ages. In addition, it may be difficult to find and connect with qualified and experienced healthcare providers; navigate the health insurance system; and educate and align primary, specialist, and emergency care providers. We propose several strategies to improve the care of patients with LC-FAODs, such as educating local healthcare teams, improving trust between patients/caregivers and healthcare providers, and raising awareness of the challenges faced by patients and caregivers across the different life stages.</p>","PeriodicalId":75218,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic advances in rare disease","volume":"5 ","pages":"26330040241252448"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11110496/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141080486","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

CureDRPLA's inception in 2019 led to the establishment of the DRPLA Research Program, and since then have funded research projects to advance the understanding of DRPLA including but not limited to human cellular and mouse models, a natural history and biomarkers study, and a patient registry.

Of particular interest are therapies focused on lowering the expression (or downregulation) of <i>ATN1</i>, the mutant gene that causes DRPLA, in hopes of tackling the pathology at its root. As with many ultra-rare diseases, a key challenge in DRPLA remains the complexity of coordinating both basic and clinical research efforts across multiple sites around the world.

This gene encodes the α1 subunit of the P/Q-type calcium channel Cav2.1, which is globally expressed in the brain and crucial for fast synaptic neurotransmission. The broad spectrum of CACNA1A-related neurological disorders includes developmental and epileptic encephalopathies, familial hemiplegic migraine type 1, episodic ataxia type 2, spinocerebellar ataxia type 6, together with unclassified presentations with developmental delay, ataxia, intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorder, and language impairment. The severity of each disorder is also highly variable. The spectrum of CACNA1A-related seizures is broad across both loss-of-function and gain-of-function variants and includes absence seizures, focal seizures with altered consciousness, generalized tonic-clonic seizures, tonic seizures, status epilepticus, and infantile spasms. Furthermore, over half of CACNA1A-related epilepsies are refractory to current therapies. To date, almost 1700 CACNA1A variants have been reported in ClinVar, with over 400 listed as Pathogenic or Likely Pathogenic, but with limited-to-no clinical or functional data. Robust genotype-phenotype studies and impacts of variants on protein structure and function have also yet to be established.

Autism and seizures are two of the most commonly observed phenotypes in Dup15q, with intellectual disability, hypotonia, gastrointestinal distress, and substantial fine and gross motor deficits also commonly reported. The community that is now known as the Dup15q Alliance started in 1994 as a small group of families raising children with chromosome 15q duplications.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-supported Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) was established to advance the diagnosis, management, and treatment of rare diseases and to promote highly collaborative, multi-site, patient-centric, translational, and clinical research. The current iteration of the RDCRN intends to build upon and enhance successful approaches within the network while identifying innovative methods to fill gaps and address needs in the approach to the rare disease treatment development process through innovation, collaboration, and clinical trial readiness.</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>The objective of this paper is to provide an overview of the productivity and influence of the RDCRN since it was first established 20 years ago.</p><p><strong>Design and methods: </strong>Using a suite of tools available to NIH staff that provides access to a comprehensive, curated, extensively linked data set of global grants, patents, publications, clinical trials, and FDA-approved drugs, a series of queries were executed that conducted bibliometric, co-author, and co-occurrence analysis.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The results demonstrate that the entire RDCRN consortia and network has been highly productive since its inception. They have produced 2763 high-quality publications that have been cited more than 100,000 times, expanded international networks, and contributed scientifically to eight FDA-approved treatments for rare diseases.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The RDCRN program has successfully addressed some significant challenges while developing treatments for rare diseases. However, looking to the future and being agile in facing new challenges that arise as science progresses is important.</p>","PeriodicalId":75218,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic advances in rare disease","volume":"4 ","pages":"26330040231219272"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10752072/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139049904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
