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.
