O Hospital Universitário Bettina Ferro de Souza (HUBFS) oferece ensino, pesquisa e atendimento especializado gratuito em Oftalmologia, Otorrinolaringologia e Pediatria na Região Norte.
O Atlas Brasileiro Online de Doenças Raras é um serviço da Rede Nacional de Doenças Raras. Ele foi criado para disseminar informações sobre epidemiologia, quadro clínico, recursos diagnósticos e terapêuticos usados, e custos relacionados a doenças raras de origem genética e não genética no Brasil.
As doenças raras podem ser definidas como aquelas que afetam até 65 pessoas em cada 100 mil, ou seja, 1,3 pessoas para cada 2.000 indivíduos. No Brasil, estima-se que cerca de treze milhões de pessoas possuem alguma doença rara.
Após coletar, armazenar, processar e analisar os dados provenientes do projeto Rede Nacional de Doenças Raras, produzimos e publicamos estudos científicos para revistas e conferências científicas nacionais e internacionais.
Portanto, bem-vindo(a) a nossa lista de publicações. Essas publicações científicas representam um esforço contínuo para o entendimento e a explicação de fenômenos na área das doenças raras.
Esses esforços visam fornecer subsídios úteis e relevantes para a tomada de decisão baseadas em evidências no campo das doenças raras. Corroborando assim para o cumprimento dos objetivos gerais e específicos deste projeto.

Introduction: Williams-Beuren syndrome is a contiguous gene syndrome caused by microdeletion of the locus 7q11.23. It is a clinically recognizable condition whose cardinal features include growth deficiency, variable degrees of neurodevelopmental disorders, congenital cardiac defects, outgoing personality, and typical facies. Case Series Presentation: This retrospective study analyzed 38 consecutive patients in a single center for rare diseases, diagnosed by Preus criteria modified by the Sugayama scoring system, comprising 17 male and 21 female individuals aged 1 month to 55 years. Cases were divided into two groups concerning (a) exclusive clinical diagnosis or (b) clinical diagnosis followed by a laboratory cytogenetic or cytogenomic test; except for hypertension, no significant difference was seen among both groups. The most frequent findings were intellectual deficiency, developmental delay, typical facies, and overfriendliness, all above 80% of the total sample. On the other hand, supravalvar aortic stenosis was found in only 32.4%, while other congenital heart diseases were seen in 56.7% of the sample. Unusual features included one individual with 13 pairs of ribs, another with unilateral microphthalmia, and three with unilateral renal agenesis. Comorbidities comprised 9 cases of hypothyroidism and 1 case each of precocious puberty, segmental vitiligo, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Conclusion: Preus criteria modified by the Sugayama scoring system are still efficient and helpful for clinical diagnosis. This is the second report on microphthalmia and the first study describing the association between vitiligo, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and congenital adrenal hyperplasia in individuals with Williams-Beuren syndrome.

The Brazilian Policy of Comprehensive Care for People with Rare Diseases (BPCCPRD) was established by the Ministry of Health to reduce morbidity and mortality and improve the quality of life of people with rare diseases (RD). Several laboratory tests, most using molecular genetic technologies, have been incorporated by the Brazilian Public Health System, and 18 specialised centres have so far been established at university hospitals (UH) in the capitals of the Southern, Southeastern and Northeastern regions. However, whether the available human and technological resources in these services are appropriate and sufficient to achieve the goals of care established by the BPCCPRD is unknown. Despite great advances in diagnosis, especially due to new technologies and the recent structuring of clinical assessment of RD in Brazil, epidemiological data are lacking and when available, restricted to specific disorders. This position paper summarises the performance of a nationally representative survey on epidemiology, clinical status, and diagnostic and therapeutic resources employed for individuals with genetic and non-genetic RD in Brazil. The Brazilian Rare Disease Network (BRDN) is under development, comprising 40 institutions, including 18 UH, 17 Rare Diseases Reference Services and five Newborn Screening Reference Services. A retrospective study will be initially conducted, followed by a prospective study. The data collection instrument will use a standard protocol with sociodemographic data and clinical and diagnostic aspects according to international ontology. This great collaborative network is the first initiative of a large epidemiological data collection of RD in Latin America, and the results will increase the knowledge of RD in Brazil and help health managers to improve national public policy on RD in Brazil.

The Minimum Data Set (MDS) can be used for subsidiarity decision-making and health planning. Besides, this strategy allows to identify obligatory points that must be adjusted to achieve sustainable management in the planning and development of relevant Health Information Systems for public health. Specifically, in the context of rare diseases, the MDS strategy can be very valuable. This systematic review will focus on research using MDS for rare diseases in several databases. We seek to answer the question: 'What is the minimum data set used in registries for rare diseases?' Some outcomes of interests specific for MDS will involve information about epidemiology, clinical procedures, and therapeutic resources among other features. We hope that by standardizing data through a careful analysis of evidence from different sources of a common format, with shared specifications and structures, we can help in the methodological transparency and reproducibility of results in the context of rare disease research.
