NORD Guide to Rare Disorders is a comprehensive, practical,
authoritative guide to the diagnosis and management of more than 800

related disorders, epidemiology, standard treatment, investigational
treatment, resources, and references.
The book includes a complete directory of orphan drugs, a full-color
atlas of visual diagnostic signs, and a Master Resource List of
support groups and helpful organizations. An index of symptoms and
key words offers physicians valuable assistance in finding the
information they need quickly.
