How common: About 8,000 new cases per year in the U.S.; rising incidence worldwide
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder affecting the CFTR protein, which normally regulates chloride transport.
How common: Nearly 40,000 children and adults in the U.S.; 1 in 2,500 to 3,500 births among Caucasians
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disease characterized by scarring of some glomeruli, the tiny filtering units that remove waste from the blood.
How common: Approximately 7% of all kidney biopsies in the United States show FSGS; incidence is 0.2-1.7 cases per 100,000 person-years
Generalized Pustular Psoriasis
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP) is the rarest form of psoriasis and behaves like a different disease.
How common: Roughly 2 to 7 new cases per million people a year worldwide (NORD); published estimates range from 2 to 124 per million, lower in Europe and higher in parts of Asia; about half of people with GPP also have ordinary plaque psoriasis

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia is a rare genetic disorder characterized by abnormal blood vessel formation (telangiectasias) and arteriovenous malformations causing nosebleeds...
How common: Approximately 1 in 5,000 to 10,000 people
Hypersensitivity pneumonitis is an inflammatory lung disease caused by repeated inhalation of antigens triggering immune-mediated lung inflammation.
How common: Estimated 1 in 100,000 to 1 in 200,000 people, though likely underdiagnosed
