Rare diseases: what are they?The term 'rare diseases' describes diseases affecting less than 1 person out of 2,000*. There are between 7,000 and 8,000* rare diseases in the world, 80% of which are of genetic origin. 1 person out of 20* in France has a rare disease.
Haemophilia, Primary Immunodeficiency, dysimmune neuropathy, and a deficiency in certain proteins are just some of the rare diseases that deeply affect the lives of patients.
