There are more than 7,000 rare diseases identified in the world today. While “rare” means that less than 200,000 people in the US are affected, to suffer from a rare disease is not actually rare at all.
Around 10% of the American population suffers from a rare disease. A shocking 90% of rare diseases do not have an approved treatment on the market.
