Message: <blockquote data-quote="viv1969" data-source="post: 93649" data-attributes="member: 5941">Níall and Eoin, my condolences to you and your family for your loss, and for the stress you must feel over this issue.  However, you and your twin may look the same, sound the same, even have the same genetic code, but that is still - mysteriously - no garantee that you would both inherit the Huntington's gene.  The university of Michigan is carrying out in depth studies as to why one identical twin may develop an hereditary disease whilst the other may not.Obviously no-one but the two of you can or should make these decisions for you, but maybe your first port of call should be to a genetic councellor.Once again I'm so sorry for your loss.</blockquote>
