How Prevelant is The Disease in The Population?

"Huntington's disease is not prevalent within any particular population. All races and ethnic groups, and both sexes are affected." It is estimated that approximately 1 out of every 10,000 people are affected, which is about 30,000 in the US. This includes Juvenile Huntington's that affects nearly 16% of all the cases.
