Huntington Disease: (HD) Is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. If 1 of your parents has the the faulty gene on chromosome 4p16.3, you have a 50% chance of having it. If you have the mutant gene, each of your children has a 50% chance of having it. Read about early symptoms & genetic testing on www.hdsa.org. Discuss with your primary healthcare provider.
