Orphanet – Know the rare for better care

300 million people in the world live with a rare disease, united by common challenges, including poor visibility of their disease. Orphadata provides access to Orphanet’s knowledge base, an ensemble of structured data on all aspects of rare diseases, intended to foster knowledge, research, diagnosis and care.

This knowledge base is structured around the Orphanet nomenclature of rare diseases, a dedicated and globally-recognised standard that improves data interoperability between healthcare and research information systems.

Orphanet is coordinated by INSERM-US14 in Paris, France.
