RareDiseases

Elsevier Health launched an ambitious initiative called The Year of the Zebra to educate millions of current and future healthcare professionals, caregivers, researchers, patients, family members, and the general public about these zebras. We are inviting an exclusive group of organizations and individuals to adopt one or more zebras by contributing to the development and distribution of highly engaging and impactful educational content about those rare disorders that will collectively reach millions of people around the world.

Rare is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal, publishing research on direct clinical and psychosocial care, diagnosis, pharmacology, public policies or ethics. Now researchers, healthcare professionals, policy makers, and the rare disease community have a multidisciplinary open access scientific publication that covers all aspects of living with these disorders.

Editor in Chief: Prof Dr Wendy van Zelst-Stams, Clinical geneticist and Head of the Clinical Genetics Section in the Department of Human Genetics at Radboud University Medical Centre in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, President of the Dutch Society of Clinical Genetics, and recently appointed Professor in Care for Rare.
