"The only way to know how COVID-19 impacts patients with rare diseases is international collaboration as proposed by this project. This way we can

Our children, although with different genes and conditions, share common symptoms and treatments; we can share our wealth of experience with others.

Bruna was diagnosed with a very uncommon genetic condition: a 19p13.3 deletion

I can also contribute with my practical and emotional experience during all these years of living with the reality of a daughter with functional

Pol suffers from a rare genetic disease that makes his skin extremely sensitive to the damaging effects of ultraviolet radiation

I would like that those people do not have to experience the same feeling of loneliness that we experienced when we receive Pol's diagnosis.

Litza recently contacted us from Mexico to tell us about her daughter's case.

I am willing to contribute as much as I can to help my daughter and so that other families do not feel as bad and lost as I feel.

When Edu was born he could not open his eyelids, but doctors did not find that a reason for not discharging him from hospital.

This project is very important for the people of our association and for all those people who are like Edu, those who still do not have a diagnosis.

The talk inside Share4Rare

Is there anyone with spina bifida that has relatively normal mobility in the legs?

I would like to contact other people who have a similar type of SB to be able to exchange impressions about health problems, symptoms and psychological aspects.

How is the research on Xeroderma Pigmentosum and in particular in Spain?

The largest updated source of information is PubMed, a specialized search engine where all recent publications in any scientific field are indexed.

Does anyone know why radiotherapy for children with brain cancer can vary from country to country in the EU?

Most referral centres in Europe with expertise in treating children and adolescents with brain tumours use collaborative protocols.

Undiagnosed patients can have common symptoms with diagnosed patients and share feelings and experiences.

In Share4Rare you can access people living the same experiences through the tool "People like me".

Let's take care of siblings of children with a rare disease.

I would like to know if there are any families in the community with a child who has participated in mutual support groups between siblings.

Where can I find information on home-hospital educational care for children with serious illnesses in Europe?

I would like to know if you know any updated page on hospital classrooms and home educative care for children with chronic and / or disabling diseases that refers to European and other countries such as the US, Australia, etc.

How do we promote research in rare diseases?

Only by joining our strengths we will be able to break the walls that isolate patients affected by rare diseases!

How could you predict the progress of a muscular dystrophy in a child?

We suggest you visit the Orphanet link, a European reference portal for rare diseases, so that you can access validated information on this pathology.

I want to know if there is someone in the platform with expertise receiving the summary of a clinical trial outcome.

I want to meet people with this kind of experience. If someone is in this community, please contact me.

Just remember that, in order to take full advantage of this platform, we still need to validate your identity. You will need to upload some documentation to be able to access all the functionalities and connect with your peers.

Let's make Share4Rare extraordinary!

Sign and accept the informed consent for you or your patients

Please, read carefully and complete the informed consent document.

Since all research will be conducted by and for the patients, it is fundamental that you provide information to accept the informed consent for each of them. This document is dynamic and will be adapted to new future needs. Whenever we need you to give your consent again or reject this one, we will notify you.

Personal ID validation
