Dr. Roy Arnold answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Prevalence unknown: according to OrphaNet. I assume you are referring to hereditary MHgb. It can be common in certain populations such as Navajo Indians, Yakutsk Siberians, Athabascan Alaskans and in Eastern Kentucky (Blue Fugates.) Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
