A rare renal disease characterized by thrombotic microangiopathy developing de novo in kidney transplant recipients with no evidence of occurrence of the disease prior to transplantation. Precipitating factors include antibody-mediated rejection, immunosuppressive medication, viral infections and genetic abnormalities in the complement cascade, among others. The condition most commonly occurs within the first 3-6 months post-transplantation. Clinical presentation is highly variable and ranges from a limited form confined to the kidney with relatively good prognosis to a systemic variant consisting of the classic triad of thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia and acute kidney injury.

A rare rheumatologic disease characterized by predominantly bilateral, chronic, sterile inflammation and progressive sclerosis and hyperostosis of the sternocostoclavicular joint, with adjacent soft tissue ossification, in the absence of other joint involvement. It presents as recurrent episodes of pain, edema and/or erythema of the sternoclavicular region. Palmoplantar pustulosis may be additionally observed in some cases. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare rheumatologic disease with the occurrence of inflammatory arthritis in association with large erythematous symmetrical cutaneous lesions (ranging from typical but infrequent cord-like lesions on the flanks to more common violaceous plaques on the trunk and limbs) featuring a typical histologic infiltrate mainly constituted of histiocytes. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare rhythm disorder with sustained tachycardia in newborns and infants and an atrial rate often at around 440 beats/minute. May manifest as asymptomatic tachycardia, congestive heart failure or hydrops. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare sclerosing bone disorder with characteristics of skeletal densification that predominantly involves the cranial vault. The disease typically has onset in late childhood or adolescence. Clinical signs include chronic bone pain and disorders of the cranial nerves (trigeminal neuralgia, facial palsy, hearing loss). The disease is due to a gain-of-function mutation in the LRP5 gene (Low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5; 11q12-q13) that results in increased bone formation. Transmission is autosomal dominant. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare sclerosing bone dysplasia combining the clinical and radiological features of melorheostosis and osteopoikilosis. The disease has been reported in some families with osteopoikilosis and with variable presentation of limb pain and deformities. Caused by a germline mutation in the LEMD3 gene (12q14), which may predispose individuals with osteopoikilosis to develop melorheostosis. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare secondary glomerular disease characterized by proteinuria, dysproteinemia, nephrotic syndrome, and nodular glomerulopathy leading to renal failure, with or without extra-renal manifestations. The renal biopsy shows typical deposits of monoclonal immunoglobulins that do not show a fibrillar organization and are negative for Congo red staining. Associated signs and symptoms depend on the involvement of other organs, liver, heart, nerve fibers, gastrointestinal tract or skin. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis characterized by occurring as either initial presentation of a malignant disease or at any stage during chemotherapy. The common associated malignancies are leukemias, B-cell, T-cell or NK-cell lymphomas, and Hodgkin lymphoma. Typical clinical manifestation includes fever, hepatosplenomegaly and cytopenias, combined with specific laboratory findings. Preferred (foundation metadata concept)
A rare secondary neonatal autoimmune disease with characteristics of single or recurrent episodes of venous, arterial or mixed thrombosis in a neonate whose mother does not have antiphospholipid syndrome manifestations.
