The symptoms of HD and its affects do not become apparent until later in life, when people have already had children. The gene is passed on to children. Until a gene screen for HD was created a few years ago, you would not know you had HD until the symptoms became apparent.

What is a dominant strategy?
In game theory, a dominant strategy is one where regardless of what the other player does, you always have a larger payoff. In probability a dominant strategy is the one with the higher likelihood of winning. For example, if you have 30% red M&Ms, 70% yellow M&Ms coming out of a tube, the dominant strategy will be to always guess yellow. (Probability matching, which most adults use is guessing 30% of the time red, and the rest yellow). An every day example would be two work routes- one that is 80% of the time traffic jammed, and the other which is only 10% of the time traffic jammed. You will always prefer the second route- despite the small probability that the first route is better.

Hence if what you were looking for was a correlation between bloodtype and populations, I'd suggest otherwise. From the data bloodtype frequency on a whole is quite in-congruent with geographical dispersion of population i.e Hong Kong and Australia have percentage frequencies similar to each other despite entirely different racial populations.
