Pioneering Paths: Women Leadership in Rare Disease

Rare diseases are often thought of as affecting one in 100,000 or one in 1,000,000 people, and that is true for some conditions. But there are many rare diseases that are more common. It may surprise many to learn that a condition that's considered rare has a prevalence of 1 in 2000 or lower, and rare diseases overall affect more than 300 million people worldwide.
