J EWISH G ENETIC D ISEASES
Jewish genetic diseases are a group of diseases for which screening is
recommended in the Ashkenazi population. One in five Ashkenazi Jews is
a carrier for at least one of the current 19 preventable and life-threatening
diseases. Tay-Sachs is an inherited genetic disorder — invariably fatal —
that mainly affects Jewish infants. It is inherited from two healthy parents
who both carry the gene, and there is a one-in-four chance that a baby will
develop the disease if both parents are carriers. A simple blood test can
determine whether an individual carries the Tay-Sachs gene. All Jewish
people considering having children should arrange for Tay-Sachs testing.

Late onset Tay-Sachs disease is a degenerative genetic disorder that causes
debilitating physical and/or mental symptoms.
