Abstract
Using the records of Churchill Hospital, Oxford, and those of genetics centres and other national institutions, the minimum prevalence of HD among immigrants from the Indian subcontinent was found to be almost half that found in the indigenous UK population. However, this observed prevalence was probably depressed, and therefore may not differ greatly from that estimated for European populations. All the identified cases were immigrants from Pakistan, the Punjab and Gujerat; none were from Bangladesh.
