Did you know? Almost all tortoiseshell (black and orange fur) cats are female. This is because both orange and black fur traits are carried on the X #chromosome . Thus male cats, which only have 1 X chromosome, can be either black or orange, but not both simultaneously. #Caturday

In Focus: Rare Diseases The term ‘rare disease’ characterizes conditions that affect a small percentage of the population. But as a group, they are anything but rare. It is estimated that at any given time, 263-446M people in the world & 72-96M in India have a rare disease.
