This condition occurs in all ethnic groups around the world. It is found more often in people of French-Canadian background, especially in the Saguenay Lac Saint-Jean region of Quebec. About 1 in 20 French-Canadians in this region are carriers. About one in every 2000 babies in this population is born with the condition.
