This is the first field study to determine the prevalence of Huntington's disease in Tasmania. It is based on almost complete enumeration of affected individuals as of January 1, 1990. The prevalence was found to be 12.1 per 100,000, which is somewhat below the figure often attributed to Tasmania but about twice that of the accepted average in Occidental populations.
