This report provides the current prevalent population for Huntington's disease across 20 Major Markets (USA, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Poland, Netherlands, Ireland, Russia, Turkey, Japan, China, South Korea, India, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina) split by gender and 5-year age cohort. In addition to the current prevalence, the report provides an overview of the risk factors, diagnosis and prognosis of the disease, along with specific variations by geography and ethnicity.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare hereditary genetic disorder of autosomal dominant nature. It is driven by a mutation in the HTT gene, coding for the protein huntingtin, which involves an abnormally large number of repeated sequences. It is a neurodegenerative disorder with onset at an average age of 40 years, leading to a varied range of motor, cognitive and psychiatric symptoms. The disease affects people in their most productive period of life and constitutes a serious and progressive burden to both the patients and their families.
Providing a value-added level of insight from the analysis team at Black Swan, several features of Huntington's disease patients, as well as the main symptoms and comorbidities of the disease have been quantified and presented alongside the overall prevalence figures. These sub-populations within the main disease are also included at a country level across the 10-year forecast snapshot.

Severe psychiatric disturbances (depression, suicidal ideation, psychosis)
Pneumonia (due to aspiration of food and drink caused by dysphagia)
Cardiovascular diseases
Injuries due to falls
Malnutrition
