It is estimated that 400 million people suffer from a rare disease globally, with approximately 7,000 distinct types of rare and genetic diseases identified.

Many of these rare diseases affect children, with irreversible debilitating and painful impact that is often fatal. Thus, it is essential to identify patients early and connect them to treatment as soon as possible to improve patient outcomes.
