It is autosomal dominant, meaning it is not on a sex chromosome (X or Y).
If one of your parents has the disease and they are heterozygote for the disease than there is a 50% chance of inheriting the disease yourself.
If one of your parents has the disease and is homozygote for the disease (very unlikely!) then you will 100% inherit Huntington's Disease.
If both of your parents have the disease and are both heterozygotes for the disease then there is a 75% chance that you will have the disease.
Autosomal dominant.
Huntington's Disease is dominant.
Huntingtons disease is Autosomal dominant, i.e. a 50% chance of inheritance if one parent has the gene. Where as sickle cell anemia is autosomal recessive. This gives a 25% chance of inheritance if both parents are carriers.
recessive
The symptoms of Huntingtons Disease are, mental deterioration and uncontrollable movements; symptoms usually appear in middle ages.
