The mutations found in the HD allele result in a protein that has normal activity. The pattern of inheritance of Huntington disease indicates that the HD disease allele is to the normal (HD") allele. If a mother is heterozygous for the normal and disease- causing HD alleles and a father is homozygous for the normal allele, it is all their children will have Huntington disease. Offspring of individuals that have only one parent with the mutant HD allele have a chance of having Huntington disease.
