Rare diseases covered : a summary
The expertise of the FIRENDO network covers rare diseases involving hormone-secreting glands (endocrine glands) and the female reproductive system (gynaecology). The expertise of our members also stretches to situations in which a non-endocrine disease leads to a rare disease involving endocrine and gynaecological functions.

* Note: this classification into 7 categories is different from the one given in the section "Guide to Rare Endocrine Diseases", which, to increase legibility, groups the rare diseases according to the affected organs/ cell functions.
