Rare diseases are medical conditions that affect a small percentage of the population, typically defined as affecting fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Despite their rarity, there are over 7,000 known rare diseases, collectively impacting millions of individuals worldwide. These conditions can be genetic, chronic, progressive, and often life-threatening. Due to their uncommon nature, rare diseases frequently face challenges such as delayed diagnosis, limited treatment options, and a lack of research funding. Many families affected by rare diseases struggle to find adequate medical support, making awareness, advocacy, and scientific advancements critical in improving the quality of life for those living with these conditions. Through education, research, and community support, we can help bridge the gap and bring hope to those affected by rare diseases.
