How prevalent is the disease in the population (include statistics)?

Huntington's disease is considered to be a "rare" disease in the United States and only 30,000 people in the U.S are affected by it. An estimated 150,000 more are at risk of inheriting it from a parent. About 3-7 out of 100,000 people of European ancestry are affected by Huntington's Disease.
