-----> Monogenic Rare Diseases
(Human Disease Author Aid Collection, Part 2)
In the current part, monogenic rare diseases were chosen based on their classification, prevalence, and degree of data availability. By "monogenic" we mean diseases that are caused by one or few known mutations. We considered worldwide point prevalence between <1/10 or 100 thousand (worldwide) as a criterion for filtering most significant rare diseases.
