Chromosome 14, trisomy mosaic is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This means that Chromosome 14, trisomy mosaic, or a subtype of Chromosome 14, trisomy mosaic, affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.
The term 'prevalence' of Chromosome 14, trisomy mosaic usually refers to the estimated population
of people who are managing Chromosome 14, trisomy mosaic at any given time.
The term 'incidence' of Chromosome 14, trisomy mosaic refers to the annual diagnosis rate,
or the number of new cases of Chromosome 14, trisomy mosaic diagnosed each year.
Hence, these two statistics types can differ:
a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence,
but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.
For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
