Solution-Heterozygous from huntington disease

Let’s say that Robert Baratheon, despite being king, was unlucky enough to be heterozygous from Huntington’s disease and heterozygous polycystic kidney disease-2 (caused by a mutation in the Polycystin-2 gene). However, being king allowed him to have many children with multiple concubines, none of which had any alleles for these diseases. Of the 16 children he fathered, 6 didn’t inherit any disease while the other 7 inherited both, and 3 only inherited either one of the diseases. What can you infer about the location of the Huntingtin gene and the Polycystin-2 gene?
