The <span class=\"xn-org\">Yale<\/span> center will also help primary care physicians better recognize and diagnose rare diseases.<\/p>\n<p>Globally, approximately 300 million people suffer from rare diseases, defined in the U.S. as a disease affecting fewer than 200,000 patients. These conditions, often genetic, can significantly impact both life expectancy and quality of life.<\/p>\n<p>With over 7,000 known rare diseases, only about 5% have FDA-approved treatments, leaving many patients reliant on symptom management. A proper diagnosis could lead to more precise and effective treatments, including genetic therapies where suitable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The challenge is there are so many diseases we have not even made a diagnosis for,&#8221; says\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/profile\/yong-hui-jiang\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Yong-Hui Jiang<\/span>, MD, PhD,<\/a>\u00a0professor and chief of medical genetics at YSM and principal investigator of the new center. &#8220;In medicine, if you don&#8217;t know what a patient has, it&#8217;s very challenging to figure out how you can help them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The project involves the Departments of Genetics, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, and Biomedical Informatics &amp; Data Science at YSM as well as many investigators, clinical consultants, and research collaborators from Yale New Haven Health, Fair Haven Community Health Care, and Project Access New Haven.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>YDCoE will use a multi-tiered approach to diagnosing suspected rare diseases. Clinicians will review medical records and schedule telemedicine appointments and in-person evaluations, including genetic testing, if an initial diagnosis is not established.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Clinicians say artificial intelligence (AI) will play a key role at the new center, aiding in more efficient patient history reviews and in-depth genetic analyses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;YDCoE speaks to the power of collaboration among clinicians, geneticists, and bioinformaticians across our academic health system in making discoveries and providing answers \u2013 and hope \u2013 to patients,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/medicine.yale.edu\/profile\/nancy-j-brown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><span class=\"xn-person\">Nancy J.
