What is the prevalence of Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy?
How many people does Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
Yes I do. It affects men and women the same. In a family of an affected person by OPMD, the descendants have 50% chances to be affected. OPMD affects adults usually starting at the 4th decade of life
