    I hear ‘rare disease’ used a lot. 🤔 What actually defines a rare disease?

    What counts as a rare disease?

    What that means

    Fact Detail
    Definition 📏 Affects a small percentage (often <1 in 2000)
    Total cases 📊 Thousands of conditions
    Impact 🧬 Often genetic, chronic
    Community 🤝 Small but strong
    • Less research per condition
    • Specialists matter
    • Advocacy helps

    Do you or a family member have a rare condition? 🧬
