[No] deben confundirse las enfermedades raras […] con las enfermedades huérfanas […]. "Enfermedad huérfana" es un concepto más amplio que puede referirse tanto a una enfermedad rara como a una enfermedad común desatendida. En el primer caso la enfermedad es huérfana porque carece de interés comercial por el reducido número de enfermos; en el segundo, por no ser una prioridad de la salud pública o por hallarse confinada en regiones del planeta sin recursos económicos o con poco interés lucrativo […] 1, record 1, Spanish, - enfermedad%20hu%C3%A9rfana
