It is a condition where your body's immune system recognizes your body or a part of it as foreign and attacks it just like it would attack an infection. Autoimmune diseases can range from very mild to severe.

Can Hashimoto's disease be the reason of positive ANA screen?

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmne disease that affects the thyroid gland. A positive ANA means that a person makes anti nuclear antibodies. The person makes antibodies against the debris from the natural breakdown of the nucleus of dead cells. 10 million Americans have a positive ANA, many have no disease at all. The older you are, the more likely you will have a positive ANA. In disease, what matters more than just testing positive is the immunfluorescent pattern, with each pattern indicating a different autoimmune disease.

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.
