Executive Summary
Summary:
Rare diseases, though unlikely to strike any given individual, collectively impact around 400 million people worldwide, making these afflictions a significant public health priority. Many rare diseases go undiagnosed for long periods because patients, families and physicians may have limited awareness of certain diseases, and the symptoms may not be informative to healthcare workers who may not have encountered such diseases before. The term "diagnostic odyssey" refers to the prolonged delays many patients face in obtaining an accurate diagnosis, which often leads to inappropriate treatment and disease progression. Better diagnostic tests for rare diseases can make significant differences in the lives of those affected by these conditions.
The Orphan Drug Act (U.S.) and its companion acts in Europe and Japan have been driving rare disease diagnostic development. These acts have opened up more therapy options for rare diseases, giving impetus to developing associated rare disease diagnostics for detection, therapy guidance and monitoring applications.
Advances in genomic technologies have been a significant impetus to the rare disease diagnostics market. Around 80% of rare diseases are genetic in origin, and 50% to 75% have pediatric onset. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies enable more precise and faster genetic testing, which is crucial for diagnosing rare diseases. These technologies reduce the time and cost of identifying rare genetic mutations.
Novel genomic-based therapies for rare diseases are emerging, spurred partly by the Orphan Drug Act and new genomic technologies. Approaches include gene therapies, gene editing therapies, RNA therapies, and genetic-modified cell therapies. A growing clinical pipeline for these therapies is a driving force for rare disease diagnostics in diagnostic, therapy guidance, clinical trial selection, and monitoring applications.
Rare disease initiatives and large-scale sequencing projects combine a substantial pool of scientific and medical expertise and vital resources. These efforts produce crucial data on genetic variants and phenotypes for advancing rare disease diagnostics. The collective progress from these projects creates strong momentum, serving as a significant driving force behind the growth of the rare disease diagnostics market.
