HD is a genetic disease- you do not "catch it" from anyone. But is is inherited from a parent, just as you inherit hair color. One of the parents has a defective gene, which causes them to develop HD. If one of their children inherits that gene, they will also develop HD. However, if they do NOT inherit that gene, they cannot develop HD, and cannot pss it to their children.
