Abstract

Clinical and research networks for rare conditions are increasingly common nowadays. Given the rarity of many such conditions, there is a need to cover more conditions, yet there is also a need to sustain and improve the quality and effectiveness of existing networks. This review will discuss the qualities that are required by a virtual network using some international clinical and research networks that are currently active in the field of rare endocrine conditions affecting sex and adrenal development as exemplars.
