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.
