Registries, like AADCAware, promote data sharing and standardization of research practices across institutions and countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph core-block core-paragraph\">For example, a poster presentation presented at the European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS) Congress this summer, led by Prof. Agathe Roubertie <em>et al.<\/em> about AADCAware, highlighted the differences across the globe on how diagnostic tests are being utilized and the symptoms observed by clinicians when they suspect and diagnose the disease. Research showed that over 80% of all patients with AADC deficiency did not achieve any motor milestones, such as holding their head, when they were diagnosed between the age of two-three years old, underscoring the need to identify and manage patients earlier in the patient journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph core-block core-paragraph\">Caregivers play a critical role in managing patients with rare diseases. Disease registries offer caregivers access to accurate, up-to-date information, educational materials and support networks. This empowers them to better understand the disease, provide optimal care and navigate the healthcare system more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph core-block core-paragraph\">Registries also contribute to health economic evaluations by capturing data on healthcare resource utilization, costs, outcomes and quality of life. This information helps assess the economic burden of rare diseases, evaluate the cost-effectiveness of treatments and inform reimbursement decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph core-block core-paragraph\">Participation in registries also enables researchers to monitor the efficacy and safety of treatments in the real world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph core-block core-paragraph\">In conclusion, rare disease and treatment registries like AADCAware can significantly benefit research efforts by providing a centralized repository of patient data, supporting natural history studies, treatment evaluations, foster collaborative research, biomarker identification and raise disease awareness. By facilitating data-driven research and fostering collaboration, we hope that this type of registry leads to improved diagnosis, treatment and quality of life of patients living with this rare disorder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rafael Sierra, Executive Director, Global Medical Affairs \u2013 Global Gene Therapy Lead Rare and ultra rare diseases present unique challenges for research and healthcare, especially when patients are geographically dispersed, and the condition presents with high heterogeneity.
