Did Arlo inherit it?
It uses mRNA gene therapy place directly into the brain.
I knew a woman whose family suffered from this. Her grandfather, father, one uncle, twin brother and another brother all di3ed from Huntington’s. She was determined to not have children, to avoid passing it on.

The disease runs through families, relentlessly kills brain cells and resembles a combination of dementia.
Looks like the left have something to blame their actions on ?
And the dog broke the lamp
Huntington's runs in my family. In 1992, when my first wife was pregnant with our first daughter, we found out that my mom had it. Fortunately, we lived near Johns Hopkins Hospital which has a Huntington's Disease Center. In 1992 you had to submit to a battery of tests to determine if you were a carrier. I was not willing to do so - there was a psychological component to the testing and I was not sure if I wanted to know. However, my daughter, who is now 32, did get tested and does not have the gene - which means I don't have it. If she had tested positive, it's likely I would have already been showing symptoms.
While at Hopkins in '92, the social worker in charge showed me a hand-drawn, meticulously researched genealogy of my mother's ancestry - tracing it back to about the American Civil War - indicating probable Huntington's victims. My daughter, through the LDS website, FamilySearch.org, has found much the same information. I learned that one of my mother's brothers had HD.
My mom did pass it to one of my brothers - he has since passed away, but his health situation was compounded with the fact he was also HIV positive. What was heartbreaking was seeing his deterioration from the disease: the nursing home that took care of him put him on a feeding tube because of dysphagia - robbing him of one of the few pleasures he had left - eating food. You could tell he understood what was being said and that his brain was engaged, but HD destroyed his ability to communicate. The disease is truly devastating, and any progress towards a cure is great news.
Two of my in-laws got Huntington’s.
