This is according to the data which was collected during the years of 2001 – 2005. SB is becoming a serious issue as the number of people affected with SB is growing with each passing year.
Today, about 272 people are currently living in the state of Alaska with this health issue. This is based on the national estimate of the people affected with this birth defect. Reports have shown that the state has about 218,608 women who are at risk of giving SB births.
