You could use a Punett Square for Huntington's disease, but why bother? If one parent has the disease, there is a 50% chance that a child will get it. The other factor involved is that with gene therapy advancing so fast, it is possible that it will be possible to replace a single gene in a particular chromosome in a baby born today before that baby reaches 30 years of age. Since Huntington's disease involves one gene on one chromosome, it should not be much of a problem.
