Important To Remember Males And Females

Huntington's disease is an inherited
neurodegenerative disorder. It is passed from
parent to child in an autosomal dominant manner
(Berkon, pg. 1493), meaning you need only one copy
of the gene to inherit the disease. This is in
contrast to an autosomal recessive disorder which
requires two altered genes to inherit the disorder
or an altered gene from each parent (Hayden, pg.
11). If you have the gene and live long enough,
you will eventually develop HD and each of your
children has a 50 % chanc...
