Abstract

The European Union defines a rare disease as a condition that affects less than 5 in 10,000 of the general population. By this definition, there are between 6000 and 8000 known rare disorders that together affect 1 in 17 Europeans. For this reason, rare disorders are the subject of intense scrutiny by governments and healthcare organisations that are developing new systems for clinical care, research and patient involvement.
