Huntington's is a genetic disease meaning that it is inherited to offspring of effected parents. If one of your biological parents have it you are at risk. I would ask my doctor for genetic testing to see if I had it.

∙ 13y agoHuntingtons disease cannot jump a generation. You can only inherit the disease if one of you parents have it. You then have a 50/50 chance of having it too. If your parent who is the child of your grandfather does not have the disease then you are not at risk, same goes for your kids, if you dont have it then they are safe too.
I know this because there are over 20 members of my family with this disease, i tested negative.
