‍Magnitude of Rare Diseases
‍Over 7,000 different types of rare diseases affect an estimated 25-30 million people in the United States alone.

Lack of Treatments
‍95% of rare diseases lack an FDA-approved treatment, largely due to the high costs and difficulties in conducting clinical trials with limited patient pools.

Lack of Data Tooling
‍There is a limited number of boutique bioinformatics platforms in the market for rare disease researchers to select from and most are prohibitively expensive or outdated  legacy institutional software.

Limited Research Funding
Only 1 in 2 rare diseases have a foundation or research support group behind them, leaving many without advocacy or funding for research.
