THE CLASSICAL FORM OF TAY-SACHS disease (TSD) is a fatal, recessive genetic disorder in children that causes progressive destruction of the central nervous system. When a person has Tay-Sachs disease, harmful quantities of a fatty substance called ganglioside GM2 accumulate in the nerve cells in the brain. Infants with Tay-Sachs disease appear to develop normally for the first few months of life. Then, as nerve cells become distended with fatty material, a relentless deterioration of mental and physical abilities occurs. The child becomes blind, deaf, and unable to swallow. Muscles begin to atrophy and paralysis sets in. Tay-Sachs is named after Warren Tay (1843-1927) and Bernard Sachs (1858-1944). Warren Tay was a British ophthalmologist who in 1881 described a patient with a cherry-red spot on the retina of the eye. Bernard Sachs was a New York neurologist whose work several years later provided the first description of the cellular changes in Tay-Sachs disease. Sachs also recognized the familial nature of the disorder, and, by observing numerous cases, he noted that most babies with Tay-Sachs disease were of eastern European Jewish origin.

Jorgenson, DDS, PhD, FACMG Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder that causes an early breakdown of the nervous system. Most people born with this disease do not survive past their third birthday. What is going on in the body? Tay-Sachs disease is caused by an enzyme defect. An important enzyme, hexosaminidase A, is not completely formed. Because of this enzyme defect, the body cannot break down a protein that is normally found in cells of the body. When this happens, the protein accumulates in the nerve cells. Then, the nerve cells swell up and degenerate, causing a breakdown of the nervous system. What are the signs and symptoms of the disease? Children born with this disease have: an exaggerated reaction to loud noises poor muscle tone decrease of purposeful movements drooling seizures blindness Most children die when they are between the ages of 2 and 4 years. What are the causes and risks of the disease?

Encyclopedia Index T Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index T Tay-Sachs disease Definition Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder caused by a missing enzyme that results in the accumulation of a fatty substance in the nervous system. This results in disability and death Description Gangliosides are fatty substances necessary for the proper development of the brain and nerve cells (nervous system). Under normal conditions, gangliosides are continuously broken down, so that an appropriate balance is maintained. In Tay-Sachs disease, the enzyme necessary for removing excess gangliosides is missing. This allows gangliosides to accumulate throughout the brain, and is responsible for the disability associated with the disease. Tay-Sachs disease is particularly common among Jewish people of Eastern European and Russian (Ashkenazi) origin. About one out of every 3,600 babies born to Ashkenazi Jewish couples will have the disease. Tay-Sachs is also more common among certain French-Canadian and Cajun French families. Causes and symptoms Tay-Sachs is caused by a defective gene. Genes are located on chromosomes, and serve to direct specific development/processes within the body. The genetic defect in Tay-Sachs disease results in the lack of an enzyme called hexosaminidase A. Without this enzyme, gangliosides cannot be degraded. They build up within the brain, interfering with nerve functioning. Because Tay-Sachs is a recessive disorder, only people who receive two defective genes (one from the mother and one from the father) will actually have the disease. People who have only one defective gene and one normal gene are called carriers. They carry the defective gene and thus the possibility of passing the gene and/or the disease onto their offspring.

Erasing Tay-Sachs Disease By Nomi Stone If human beings have the capacity to efface particular debilitating and tragic diseases from the gene pool, who would possibly want to tug the reins on such a project? Tay-Sachs disease is caused by the hereditary lack of a crucial enzyme, Hexosaminidase-A, which normally breaks down fatty waste products, found in the brain. In the absence of Hex-A, a substance accumulates which is usually broken down by Hex-A and causes irreparable damage to the nervous system . A newborn with Tay-Sachs disease first appears startlingly normal. The infant becomes hypersensitive to sound within the first few months, ironic, as deafness is one of the last symptoms. Motor development is sluggish from the start, and head control, poor. Response to the environment becomes minimal: the child is eventually deaf, blind, mentally retarded and virtually inert. Death results by age five Tay-Sachs is an autosomal recessive disorder: if both parents are carriers of the defective gene, there is a twenty-five percent chance that the child will have the disease, and a fifty percent chance that the child will be a carrier of the gene. The confluence of these factors is quite rare, however, as the carrier rate in the population at large is 1/250. However, the disease is comparatively rampant in the Ashkenazi Jewish population; 1/27 Jews in the United States carries the gene . Tay-Sachs’ frequency in the Jewish population is due to the "founder effect" in which a random preponderance of genetic disorders and mutations within a tightly knit minority group are perpetuated over generations. It is perplexing that the gene does not naturally, with time and evolutionary grace, become diminished in frequency. After all, a child with the disease cannot transmit its genes, due to death before childbearing age. The carrier rate however, has remained fairly constant. Perhaps this is because parents who suffer the death of a child due to Tay-Sachs will probably have more children than the norm to compensate, fifty percent of which will be carriers of the gene.

Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited disorder that causes progressive destruction of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The most common form of Tay-Sachs disease begins in infancy. An infant with the disorder appears normal until 3 to 6 months of age, when development slows and the baby is often unable to crawl, turn over, or grasp objects. As the disease progresses, infants develop seizures, vision and hearing loss, mental retardation, and paralysis. Children with Tay-Sachs disease usually live for 3 to 5 years; death is often caused by pneumonia or other types of infection. Other forms of Tay-Sachs disease are much rarer. Symptoms can begin in childhood, adolescence, or adulthood and are usually milder than those seen with the infantile form of Tay-Sachs disease. As in the infantile form, mental abilities and coordination are affected. Symptoms vary widely between people, even between affected members of a family.

The disease is clinically characterized by by the onset in infancy of developmental retardation, followed by paralysis, dementia and blindness, with death in the second or third year of life. A gray-white area around the retinal fovea centralis, due to lipid-laden ganglion cells, leaving a central cherry-red' spot is a typical funduscopic finding. Pathologic verification is provided by the finding of the typically ballooned neurons in the central nervous system. An early and persistent extension response to sound ('startle reaction') is useful for recognizing the disorder.

NHGRI Clinical Research on Tay-Sachs Additional Resources for Tay-Sachs Disease Information What Do We Know About Heredity and Tay-Sachs Disease? Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is a fatal genetic disorder, most commonly occurring in children, that results in progressive destruction of the nervous system. Tay-Sachs is caused by the absence of a vital enzyme called hexosaminidase-A (Hex-A). Without Hex-A, a fatty substance, or lipid, called GM2 ganglioside accumulates abnormally in cells, especially in the nerve cells of the brain. This ongoing accumulation causes progressive damage to the cells. In children, the destructive process begins in the fetus early in pregnancy, although the disease is not clinically apparent until the child is several months old. By the time a child with Tay-Sachs is three or four years old, the nervous system is so badly affected that death usually results by age five. A baby with Tay-Sachs disease appears normal until about six months of age when its development slows. By about two years of age, most children experience recurrent seizures and diminishing mental function. The infant gradually regresses, and is eventually unable to crawl, turn over, sit or reach out. Eventually, the child becomes blind, mentally retarded, paralyzed and non-responsive.

Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a deficiency of hexosaminidase, an enzyme that is important in the metabolism of gangliosides (a type of chemical substance found in nerve tissue). These gangliosides, particularly ganglioside GM2, then accumulate in the brain, causing neurological deterioration. Tay-Sachs disease is inherited as a recessive gene, and 1 in 25 members of the Ashkenazi Jewish population carries the gene. Tay-Sachs has been classified into infantile, juvenile, and adult forms, depending on the type of symptoms and when they first appear. The majority of people with Tay-Sachs have infantile forms.
