There are thousands of rare diseases, and it would be impractical to list them all comprehensively in a single response. By definition, a rare disease is one that affects a small percentage of the population, often defined as fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States or fewer than 5 in 10,000 in Europe.

Some notable examples of rare diseases include:

1. **Huntington's Disease**
2. **Cystic Fibrosis**
3. **Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy**
4. **Gaucher's Disease**
5. **Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome**
6. **Marfan Syndrome**
7. **Batten Disease**
8. **Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)**
9. **Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension**
10. **Alkaptonuria**
11. **Niemann-Pick Disease**
12. **Xeroderma Pigmentosum**
13. **Wilson's Disease**
14. **Tay-Sachs Disease**
15. **Maple Syrup Urine Disease**
16. **Phenylketonuria (PKU)**
17. **Lynch Syndrome**
18. **Stiff Person Syndrome**
19. **Hyper IgM Syndrome**
20. **Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP)**

These examples only scratch the surface of the vast number of rare diseases. There are over 7,000 known rare diseases, affecting an estimated 25 million Americans and 30 million Europeans. Research and awareness are important for these conditions, as many lack effective treatments or widespread recognition.

For a complete list and more detailed information, resources like the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) or the European Organisation for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS) can be consulted.
