Huntington's disease is a dominant genetic disease. That means that a person will develop the disorder if they receive one copy of the gene from an affected parent - so children with a parent who has Huntington's have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene and developing the disease. If children don't inherit the gene, however; they cannot pass it on to their own children. The chain of inheritance is broken.
Huntington's disease typically doesn't appear until the patient is between 30 and 50 years of age. Men and women are equally affected by the disease, and it crosses all racial and ethnic boundaries.

How does Lyme disease impact ethnic groups?
Lyme disease can affect all ethnic groups, but certain populations may be more at risk due to factors like outdoor activities in wooded or grassy areas where ticks are prevalent. There may also be differences in access to healthcare and awareness of tick-borne illnesses that could affect diagnosis and treatment outcomes across ethnic groups. However, the impact of Lyme disease on different ethnic groups can vary and is influenced by various socio-economic and environmental factors.

What age group does your disease affect?
There are different diseases that are more common in certain age groups, but anyone can be susceptible to any of them. The study of diseases in relation to age is called gerontology.
Are there specific groups or regions that are more susceptible to the disease or mutation?
Yes, certain groups and regions can be more susceptible to specific diseases or genetic mutations due to a variety of factors, including genetic predispositions, environmental influences, and socioeconomic conditions. For example, populations with limited genetic diversity might be more vulnerable to inherited diseases. Additionally, regions with poor access to healthcare or high exposure to environmental toxins may see higher incidences of certain health issues. Furthermore, some diseases disproportionately affect specific ethnic or geographic groups due to historical patterns of migration and adaptation.
