Every year on the last day of February, we celebrate Rare Disease Day. 5% of the human population is affected by a rare disease. In Europe alone, 30 million people are affected by a rare condition. One of these rare diseases is Neurofibromatosis, which actually stands for a group of three rare diseases: Neurofibromatosis Type 1, Neurofibromatosis Type 2 and Schwannomatosis.
