    Today is rare disease day!

    🚨 There are over 300 million people who live with a #raredisease in #europe.

    🌎 Today, we join our fellow patient organisations that work towards a better life for people with rare diseases and their families.

    🔴 Some facts about #rarediseases:

    1️⃣ There are more than 6000 identified rare diseases.

    2️⃣ Rare diseases currently affect 5% of the worldwide population.
    The true impact of rare diseases is much wider, however, with those affected in Europe in the millions, as the disease affects not only the patient but also our loved ones.

    3️⃣ 72% of genetic diseases are genetic, although #lupus is not one of them.
    👉 Lupus is not a genetic disease. Although it is very much related to genes, there are other factors that play a role in its manifestation.

    4️⃣ 👶Neonatal #lupus is a rare congenital disorder that some infants of mothers with lupus and anti-Ro/SSA and/or anti-La/SSB antibodies develop.
    The most serious complication of neonatal lupus is a heart condition known as congenital heart block.

    5️⃣ Having an early diagnosis is key to having access to the right treatment. This has an impact on physical and mental health and, therefore, on the quality of life.

    Along with organisations like Rare Disease Day and EURORDIS-Rare Diseases Europe, we will carry on working towards an early diagnosis, access to treatment and equality for #raredisease patients 🙌.

    Thank you for your support on this #rarediseaseday!

    😃 Throwback to the HMA/EMA Multi-Stakeholder Workshop on Artificial Intelligence.

    Watching Alain Cornet show the world what #LupusGPT really is still gives us goosebumps! 🙌

    For those who still don't know this artificial intelligence tool:

    💡 LupusGPT is built by patients and doctors.
    🗣️ It speaks virtually any language.
    💸 It’s free and anonymous- you don’t need to create an account.
    📚 It is trained exclusively on a curated repository of validated documents.
    🚫 It does not invent answers.

    If something is not in the repository, LupusGPT will clearly say so. It will not guess. It will not generate false information.

    🥹 Seeing LupusGPT presented at such a high-level regulatory forum confirmed something important:
    Patient-led innovation can meaningfully contribute to the future of AI in medicine when it is built responsibly.
