About this ebook

«Este libro sobre enfermedades raras es un libro raro. Pocos autores disponen de conocimientos lo suficientemente amplios para abarcar la disciplina de las enfermedades raras. Jules J. Berman, muy conocido en el ámbito de la informática médica, guía al lector a través de una combinación de historia, genética, medicina y comentarios sociales sobre trastornos frecuentes que se comparan con otros raros. Es un libro fácil de leer, interesante e increíblemente entretenido. No es un tratado ni un compendio, pero cualquier persona interesada en las enfermedades raras disfrutará con esta lectura singular e informativa.»
—M. Ian Phillips, Editor, Expert Opinion on Orphan Drugs; Director, Center for Rare Disease Therapies, Keck Graduate Institute, Claremont, CA, EE.UU.
