It's a disease of the central nervous system called the neurodegenerative disorder
Can not be cured, but treatment may help.

  • Tay_Sachs can be detected before birth.
  • Some birth defect might remain silent for many years.
  • The majority of birth defects, however, are without detectable cause.
  • About 10 percent of birth defects are caused by environmental factors such as infection, radiation, and drugs.

A child can only get Tay_Sachs by inheriting the gene for it from both parents

  • Prenatal genetic testing can determine whether the fetus has inherited a defective copy of the gene from both parents.
  • Both CVS and amniocentesis present developmental risks to the fetus that have to be balanced with the possible benefits, especially in cases where the carrier status of only one parent is known.
  • Chorionic Villus Sampling which can be performed after the 10th week of gestation, is the most common form of prenatal diagnosis.

  • 50% chance that their child will be a carrier, but not have the disease
  • 25% chance that their child will not be a carrier and not have the disease
  • 25% chance that their child will have the disease
  • Tay-Sachs can be diagnosed through blood tests.
     
  • Most commonly found in infant
