About prevalence:

The medical term 'prevalence' of X-linked Genetic Diseases usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing X-linked Genetic Diseases at any given time, whereas the annual diagnosis rate of new cases of X-linked Genetic Diseases is called the 'incidence'. For more information on prevalence and incidence statistics, see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
