Epidemiology
Office of Rare Diseases listed Lyngstadaas syndrome as a "rare disease". This means that Lyngstadaas syndrome, or a subtype of Lyngstadaas syndrome, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population. [citation needed]
Orphanet, a consortium of European partners, currently defines a condition rare when if affects 1 person per 2,000. They list Lyngstadaas syndrome as a "rare disease".[citation needed]
