I tried to copy and paste but it didn’t work so if you will go to this site it will tell you about inheritance

Also, his wife/girlfriend’s OB should be informed that he has HD so they can get some genetic counseling. That will tell them percentages as well, and give the OB a chance to watch for anything in the ultrasounds.
