Becasue HD is carried on a dominant gene. Unlike recessive gene diseases, where you would have to inherit the gene from BOTH parents, with a dominant gene disorder- well, you will inherit one of two genes from the parent with HD. One carries HD, the other does not. Odds are 1 out of two, or 50%. For each child born to that parent.
