Abstract
The prevalence of Huntington's chorea in the population of European descent on the island of Mauritius is 1 in 2 166. All affected persons on the island are related and probably descend from a common ancestor who emigrated from France around 1800. In view of the large number of persons at risk, Huntington's chorea has important medical and social implications for the inhabitants of Mauritius.
摘要
在毛里求斯岛上的欧洲裔人群中，亨廷顿舞蹈症的患病率为1/2166。岛上所有患病者都有亲缘关系，很可能源自一位于1800年左右从法国移民而来的共同祖先。鉴于有大量人群面临风险，亨廷顿舞蹈症对毛里求斯居民有着重要的医学和社会影响。
