Description
Brahim Tabarki, Khalid Hundallah, and Majid Alfadhel wrote a 2026 piece on rare disease care in the Middle East and North Africa. Rare diseases touch 450 million people worldwide, and most have a genetic root. Yet they stay poorly studied, and only a small share have targeted treatments.
The region's population structure and fast-growing gene testing give it a special chance to lead. Families there share ancestry in ways that can reveal disease genes clearly. But research networks across borders stay fragmented, which slows shared learning. The authors call for joined registries and teamwork so the region's strengths serve patients everywhere.
