Today is Rare Disease Day 💜

Myofin Research Group @myofinlab.bsky.social · Feb 28

#RareDiseaseDay is on the last day of February (28th or 29th).

Approximately 5% of the world's population is affected by a rare disease. Rare Disease Day is an important initiative for us, as nearly 90% of neuromuscular disorders are classified as rare diseases. (1/5)
