The Problem
25-30M Americans live with a rare disease. NIH GARD FAQ, 2024
300-400M people globally live with rare diseases. The Lancet Global Health, 2024
Average diagnosis delay is often 5+ years. NORD Rare Disease Facts, 2024
Up to 95% of rare diseases still have no approved treatment. NORD Rare Disease Facts, 2024
Nearly 70% of rare diseases present in childhood. The Lancet Global Health, 2024
U.S. rare disease burden approaches $1T annually across direct, indirect, and non-medical costs. EveryLife National Economic Burden Study, 2021
Delayed diagnosis can add up to $517,000 in avoidable per-patient costs. EveryLife Delayed Diagnosis Study, 2023
Workforce Gap
Roughly 1,965 U.S. MD clinical genetics diplomates are certified. ABMGG Diplomate Statistics, 2024
6,985 certified genetic counselors were active in the U.S. NSGC Professional Status Survey, 2024
10,250+ genetic counselors are documented globally across 45+ countries. Ormond et al., Global status of genetic counselors, 2024
India has an estimated 70M people living with rare diseases. India National Policy for Rare Diseases, 2021
This approximates to ~1 specialist per 30,000 patients globally.
