Rare Diseases: A disease or disorder is defined as rare in Europe when it affects fewer than 1 in 2000. A disease or disorder is defined as rare in the USA when it affects fewer than 200,000 Americans at any given time. ... In the EU, as many as 30 million people may be affected by one of over 6000 existing rare diseases.
