Huntington's disease, which causes degeneration of neurons, runs in Maria's family. Huntington's is a heritable, autosomaldominant genetic disease. In an autosomal dominant disease, only one abnormal allcle is required to cause the disease inoffspring. However, it is possible that not all offspring will receive the abnormal allele from an affected heterozygous parent.Family members that have the disease include Maria's paternal grandmother and Maria's paternal uncles. Maria's paternalgrandfather does not have the diseasc.Because symptoms of Huntington's discase do not appear until later in life, genetic testing is necessary to determinc whether ayounger individual possesses the allele for the diseasc. These tests determined that Maria's father does not carry the allele forHuntington's disease.Maria's maternal uncle suggested that Maria create a pedigree to track the disease in her family.
