Hi Karl.
You have nothing to fear..at least where HD is concerned. Huntington's is a
genetic disease, so it is passed on through the genes of a parent. Hd is a very
odd gene. It doesn't follow the normal traits of genetics. Basically, a person
cannot carry the gene. They either have it or they don't. I, myself, am 21 and
at risk. My father died of HD in june of 2003, and i am preparing to begin the
testing process, which starts the end of this month.
