Rare genetic disorders are conditions caused by abnormalities in an individual's DNA and affect a small percentage of the population, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Advances in genetic research and technology, such as next-generation sequencing, are improving our understanding and management of these disorders.

Diagnosis and treatment are critical components of healthcare, involving the identification of a disease or condition and the subsequent management to alleviate or cure it. Effective diagnosis relies on accurate assessment and testing, while treatment plans are tailored to individual patient needs, often integrating medication, therapy, and lifestyle adjustments.
