Summary/Abstract: The end of the 20th and beginning of the 21st century marks the concept of protection of the rights of minority groups which emphasized the need for providing special additional protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms. Marginalization, stigmatization, social exclusion and vulnerability as a sociological characteristics and discrimination as a legal characteristic are interrelated, conditional and interdependent characteristics of minority groups. In this paper applying sociological and comparative methods we discussed about social status of persons suffering from rare diseases as a minority social group. We indicate vulnerability as the basic sociological characteristic and points out the need for establishing special legal status of persons suffering from rare diseases. Vulnerability can be understand as so-called „positive labeling“ in sociological context in order to exercise the basic social human rights of the minority groups.
