February 28th is the Global Rare Diseases day. Out of a total of 8,000 rare diseases known in the world, 280 of them are more common in Iran. About 8,000 rare diseases are known, with 80 percent of them have genetic roots, and 65 percent of these diseases are acute and create problems for the patients.
According to global definitions, a rare disease is a disease with fewer than 5 out of 10,000 people, and this low outbreak has made it hard to diagnose these diseases.
