I have heterochromia, not sure how rare it is but I have never seen anyone else with it. It doesn't effect me to much except for the odd strange look on the bus.
Who else has a rare genetic disorder? hands?

Well, I likely inherited a rare genetic disorder from my mom. She has a disorder that caused her cerebellum to be formed abnormally small and shrink throughout her life. Fortunately it's fairly mild. Unfortunately it's a dominant gene.
The symptoms are mostly just loss of fine motor control and tremors starting sometime around when she turned 30 and getting progressively worse. It's not bad enough to be fatal in a normal human lifespan though, so no biggie really. We're sure she got it from her dad, and he shook like crazy but he was still fully functional well into his 80s when he died... of cancer.
I'm 32 now though, and my hand are starting to shake noticeably. I keep accidentally pressing the right mouse button lately. It's pissing me off.

Worst I got is red colorblindness. For those who don't know, I can't distinguish between different colors of red.
Oh, and everyone in my family is prone to diabetes, but I don't have it.

I dunno if there's a name for it (I guess there isn't) but one of my fingers (left hand ring finger to be precise) has one more joint.
It's confusing.

Oh well at least I am still the cool heterochromic guy at work.
Edit: Oh you're sectoral, well we are still different, you could be that cool sectoral heterochromic guy.
Only thing that affects me at the moment is green-blue colourblindness.
However, I can see my health deteriorating in the future, my family has all kinds of shit going on. Various cancers, alzheimers, parkinsons, crappy hearts, various addictions, stupidly high blood pressure, that kinda thing.
Can't wait for my future -_-'

EDIT: I do have Fisher's disease, which is onconvenient and painful. It's a form of piles, it's not nice...(he, Fisher's the surname of my now hated ex, who is a real pain in the arse)
