it’s a severe neurodegenerative disease where you get something called chorea, meaning large, involuntary movements of the extremities. Second, the patients usually get a cognitive decline that evolves into dementia starting at around age 40, which I guess is why Ryan’s father is in a nursing home.

The mutation that causes Huntington’s Disease occurs on a single gene. Every person has two copies of every gene, one from each parent. If a disease is “autosomal recessive,” that means you need two copies of the gene in order to be affected. If the disease is “autosomal dominant,” however, that means you need only one abnormal copy.

In practical terms, what that means is that if your parent has an autosomal dominant disease, you have a 50% chance of getting it yourself.
