The medication support of patients with rare (orphan) diseases is an actual issue, since it requires significant financial costs due to high price of medications. The accessibility of these medications to such patients should be regulated by state incentives for development of orphan medications with following taking out to the market, by procedure of composing list of medications for treatment of orphan diseases and determination of financial support sources. The article considers aspects of regulation of issues related to orphan diseases and orphan medications in the Russian Federation and Europe. On the basis of regulated list of orphan diseases in Russia, the results of comparative analysis of list of orphan medications in Russia and list published at website of the European Union are presented. On the basis of data obtained, it was established that many medications for treatment of rare diseases registered in Europe are not available in Russia. Also, many orphan drugs in Europe do not have this status in Russia. At the same time, there are no state incentives for development of orphan medications in the Russian Federation, and there are only some benefits in registration procedure of such drugs. The analysis demonstrated availability of development and taking out to the Russian pharmaceutical market large list of orphan drugs from the European listing for National corresponding manufacturers.

A Novel COL7A1 Mutation in a Patient With Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. Successful Treatment With Upadacitinib.

Dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (DEB) is a heterogeneous and rare genetic skin disease caused by mutations in the gene, which encodes Type VII collagen. The absence or dysfunction of Type VII collagen can cause the dense lower layer of the basal membrane zone of the skin to separate from the dermis, leading to blister formation and various complications. In different DEB subtypes, the severity of the phenotype is associated, to some extent, with the outcome of Type VII collagen caused by mutations in the gene, which may be reduced in expression, remarkably reduced, or completely absent.

Introduction: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a rare haematological cancer with poor 5-years overall survival (OS) and high relapse rate. Leukemic cells are sensitive to Natural Killer (NK) cell mediated killing. However, NK cells are highly impaired in AML, which promote AML immune escape from NK cell immune surveillance.

In this article, we report the first case of a 61-year-old woman who was diagnosed with both nodules and cystic lesions in her lungs. The lung nodules were diagnosed as ALK-positive histiocytosis (APH) carrying an gene fusion, which microscopically displayed a mixed morphology of foamy cells, spindle cells, and Touton's giant cells. Immunohistochemistry showed expression of CD163, CD68, and ALK, while fluorescence hybridization (FISH) with second-generation sequencing (NGS) showed the ALK gene fusion with the FLCN gene variant.

Background: Many patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) nowadays have reached adulthood, as well as their sisters, possibly carriers of a deleterious Bruton tyrosine kinase variant. Studies on motherhood outcomes in families with XLA are lacking.

Objective: We sought to investigate adherence to carrier status screening, interest in preconception and prenatal genetic counseling, and reproductive decisions in relatives with XLA.

Background And Purpose: Pediatric radiotherapy patients and their parents are usually aware of their need for radiotherapy early on, but they meet with a radiation oncologist later in their treatment. Consequently, they search for information online, often encountering unreliable sources. Large language models (LLMs) have the potential to serve as an educational pretreatment tool, providing reliable answers to their questions.
