How is huntington's disease inherited

2018-07-23 12:50:55
My wife is 45-years old and has recently been diagnosed with Huntington’s disease. We’ve been told that it was transmitted through her father’s genes. I am highly curious to know how Huntington’s was inherited and what the exact process was. Can an expert in this field inform me how is Huntington’s disease inherited?
