There is already an answer inside the question.
"You're correct that the man has a 50% probability of carrying the Huntington's allele. Now, if he does have it, the probability that his first child will also inherit the Huntington's allele is also 50%.
But there is only a 50% chance that the man has it to give to his son. So: .5 X .5 = 0.25 = 25% There is a 25% chance that the man's first child will be affected by Huntington's disease."
