Today is a special day of recognition for so many of our WONDERFUL friends! Happy Rare Disease Day! What is a rare disease? A rare disease is generally defined as a condition affecting a small percentage of the population, often characterized by chronic, life-threatening, or debilitating symptoms. In the U.S., it is defined as a disease affecting fewer than 200,000 people. There are over 7,000 to 8,000 distinct rare diseases.
