Is huntington's disease dominate or recessive?

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.


Why is Huntington's disease dominant in inheritance patterns?

Huntington's disease is dominant in inheritance patterns because only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to develop the disease. This means that if a person inherits the mutated gene from just one parent, they will likely develop Huntington's disease.
