RE: Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism –a breakdown of the longest word in the world and the medical condition it refers to.

Thanks for sharing this interesting phenomenon.

The condition is so rare that researching it is quite difficult and further understanding will probably take a long time to develop.

That is often the problem with rare diseases/problems. There are even exceptions in drug regulations for rare diseases, so quite a few small pharmaceutical companies are working on it - a very interesting field of work imho.

Thanks :)

Are you talking about orphan drugs? I'm a little ignorant of the field of pharmaceutical companies inner workings, but I've heard of some orphan drug programs.

We'll get there one day :P
