“We are thrilled to be part of PNH Awareness Week,” said James Radke, Ph.D., managing editor of Rare Disease Report. “Blood clots, including deep vein thrombosis, are a common problem for people with PNH and they can be silent killers. Awareness leads to early detection and that timely recognition can get patients the necessary care.”

Rare Disease Report® will share informational content on its website and social media platforms, to spread awareness and provide insights on PNH. This recognition week focuses on educating those who may not know about the disease and highlighting the hardships experienced by patients, family members, and caregivers.

PNH, an atypical and life-threatening disease of the blood, affects 2 people per million in the United States typically between the ages of 35-40, according to the Seattle Cancer Alliance. This rare condition is caused by a genetic mutation in which red blood cells are destroyed due to the extremely low level of essential membrane proteins that regulate complement proteins. Available therapy for PNH includes bone marrow transplant, and the U.S. is currently awaiting an FDA decision on Soliris (eculizumab), which treats some of its symptoms.
