Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is considered the most prevalent neurological disorder in young adults with many patients manifesting sleep-related disorders (SRD) due to its pathomechanisms. This is subsequently reflected in patients' quality of life and physical activities.
Material And Methods: This is a cross-sectional study at a tertiary care center.
Introduction Despite Saudi Arabia's' free healthcare system, breast cancer (BC) has a major impact on affected individuals. Previous studies have shown that socioeconomic variables could contribute to inequities in receiving treatment. Although early detection and treatment are essential, delays are frequently influenced by either insurance status or other socioeconomic variables.

Ultra-rare and rare diseases cumulatively acquire a prevalence equivalent to type 2 diabetes with 80% being genetic in origin and more prevalent among high consanguinity communities including Saudi Arabia. The challenge of these diseases is the ability to predict their prevalence and define clear phenotypic features.
