GARCIA RIBES, Miguel et al. Tackling rare diseases from the primary healthcare centre: "where there's a will, there's a way". Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2013, vol.6, n.1, pp.32-36. ISSN 2386-8201.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1699-695X2013000100006.

In recent years health care for patients with rare diseases (RD) has started to take on a certain significance in the daily routine of the family doctor's practice. Since training in such heterogeneous pathologies (more than 8,000 RD, more than 80% of genetic origin) is limited in primary care, and given that a group of chronic patients with special needs is concerned, an online tool has been developed to manage them from the primary healthcare centre to facilitate the the family doctor's task of caring for these patients: the DICE-APER protocol.
