Explanation:

The field of rare diseases is complex, heterogeneous, continuously evolving and suffers from a deficit of medical and scientific knowledge. So far about 450 rare diseases have been recorded in India. Globally as well as in India,
80% of rare diseases are genetic in origin and hence disproportionately impact children.
