Through their genes - or during pregnancy ! Many diseases can (and usually are) passed down from the mother to the foetus through the umbilical cord.

Lupus is not hereditary. In order to develop lupus, a person has to inherit just the right combination of quite a few different genes and then be exposed to a trigger. Children of parents with lupus have only a slightly higher chance of developing the disease.


Will a person with huntington's disease pass the disease to his offspring?

Maybe. Huntington's IS an inherited disease. It is carried on a Dominant gene. That means if one parent has the HD gene, and the other parent does not, then the odds are 50-50 that any one child born to that couple COULD inherit that gene, which will result in their developing HD. However, if you do NOT inherit that gene- it stops there. Unlike some genetic diseases, you cannot be a carrier of HD if you do not have it.
