Rare Disease??


Does anyone know of a site that would give you the per cent of people who have certain rare diseases. my son has Hirschsprung's Disease and his doctor has told me it was very rare and my son was the only person he had ever seen that had this and he has been a doctor over 20 years. i would just be interested in seeing the odds of having this or how many people in NC had this. Thanks......

This might give you a little more information about the disease. It is not a common problem and only occurs 1/5000 live births.

The information I provided is from the Lucille Packard Children's Hospital out of Stanford. Best of luck to you...

"Hirschsprung's disease occurs in one in every 5,000 babies born and is responsible for one-fourth of intestinal obstructions in newborns" - Mayoclinic.com

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/hirschs...

in 2006 NC had 8,856,505 estimated people so only around 1771 people in your entire state have it. Statistically speaking. http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/...
