    Extractions: This paper was written by a student in a course at Bryn Mawr College, and reflects that student's research and thoughts at the time the paper was written. Like other things on Serendip , the paper is not intended to be "authoritative" but is instead provided to encourage others to themselves learn about and think through subjects of interest, and, by providing relevant web links, to serve as a "window" to help them do so. Web links were active as of the time the paper was posted but are not updated. Biology 103 On Serendip Introduction. When a couple has a baby, they pray that they will have an easy childbirth and a healthy newborn. However, an easy delivery and a healthy-seeming baby does not guarantee a problem-free childhood. Children born with Tay-Sachs Disease (TSD), a fatal genetic disorder, do not show symptoms until they are six months old, but almost never survive past the age of five. Tay-Sachs Disease was named for Warren Tay and Bernard Sachs, two doctors working independently. In 1881, Dr. Tay, an ophthalmologist, described a patient with a cherry red spot on the back of his eye; the presence of this red spot has become a clear signal for the diagnosis of TSD. Several years later, Dr. Sachs, a New York neurologist, described the cellular changes caused by TSD, observed the hereditary nature of the disease, and noted its predominance among Jews of Eastern European descent A rarer form of the disease known as Late-Onset Tay-Sachs exists, but this paper will focus on classic infantile TSD and explore its scientific and social implications.

    Extractions: Presentation is usually at six months of age when affected infants, who previously have appeared normal and passed their early milestones, become lethargic, floppy and poor feeders. They show an abnormal accentuated startle response to sudden noises. There is usually a macular cherry-red spot. Motor development becomes progressively retarded and as the disease progresses blindness, spasticity and decerebrate rigidity occur. Feeding becomes increasingly difficult and death usually occurs by 3 years following pulmonary infection. Later onset forms of the disease with juvenile or adult presentation and sub-acute or chronic courses also occur. In these there may be survival into adolescence, or longer survival with normal intelligence but slowly progressive spinocerebellar degeneration. Enzyme Test: b -Hexosaminidase A is measured for diagnosis of this disease.

    http://www.dynagene.com/education/tay.html
    
    Extractions: Tay-Sachs disease is an inherited genetic disorder which is most prevalent among descendants of the Ashkenazi Jewish population from Central and Eastern Europe. Approximately 1 out of every 30 Jewish Americans is a carrier of the Tay-Sachs gene. More recently, an increased incidence has been noted in people of French-Canadian and Cajun ancestry, but in all other populations, the frequency of Tay-Sachs has significantly decreased. Characteristics An infant with Tay-Sachs disease usually develops in a normal manner for the first few months of life. However, at about six months of age, the baby begins to lose its ability to do things such as roll over, crawl, or reach out for something. He or she many even lose the ability to smile. Over time, the baby will become completely unaware of his/her surroundings. Mental retardation always occurs, and progressive physical deterioration causes the baby to become blind and paralyzed. The average life expectancy for a person with Tay-Sachs disease is 2-5 years of age.

The average life expectancy for a person with Tay-Sachs disease is 2-5 years of age. Inheritance Tay-Sachs disease has an autosomal (non-sex related) recessive pattern of inheritance, meaning that both parents must be carriers in order to have an affected child. If both parents are carriers of the Tay-Sachs gene, their child has a 25% chance of having the disease, a 50% chance of being an asymptomatic carrier, and a 25% chance of being disease-free and not carrying the gene. If only one parent is a Tay-Sachs carrier, there is no chance of having an affected child, and a 50% chance the child will be a carrier.

Two forms of this disease occur in Ashkenazi Jews, the well known infantile-onset form and a lesser known, late-onset or adult form designated "chronic GM2-gangliosidosis". Infantile Tay-Sachs Disease This disease is characterized by the onset of severe mental and developmental retardation during the first four to eight months of life. An early sign of the disease is the cherry-red spot, an unusual abnormality in the retina of the eye observed only by use of an ophthalmoscope. The involvement of the central nervous system progresses rapidly and affected children become totally debilitated by two to five years of life. Affected children also develop seizures which are not controllable with anti-epileptic drugs. Death usually occurs by three to five years of life due to pneumonia or other infections. Tay-Sachs disease is an inherited metabolic disorder. The basic defect in affected children is the deficiency of an enzyme, Beta-hexosaminidase A. This enzyme normally breaks down a naturally occurring fatty substance called GM2-ganglioside. The enzyme deficiency leads to a toxic accumulation of GM2-ganglioside in the cells of the nervous system. The gene for hexosaminidase A has been isolated on chromosome 15 and several specific mutations which cause infantile Tay-Sachs disease in Ashkenazi Jewish individuals have been identified.

This abnormal accumulation of gangliosides leads to progressive dysfunction of the central nervous system.

    http://www.wolper.com.au/Programs/Tay-Sachs/tay-sachs.html
    
    Extractions: What is Tay-Sachs disease? Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is an inherited (genetic), incurable disease of the central nervous system. In the classical form, symptoms first appear at about the age of 6 months, when an apparently healthy baby stops smiling, crawling or turning over, loses their ability to grasp or reach out, and gradually becomes blind and paralysed. There is no cure for the disease and death usually occurs before the age of five years. Babies with TSD do not have the correct genetic information to tell his/her body to produce an enzyme called B-Hexosaminidase A (HexA), which is necessary for breaking down certain substances in the brain and nerve cells. These substances then accumulate in the nerve cells causing irreversible damage. Who gets Tay-Sachs disease? Genetic diseases are often more common in specific community groups. TSD is most common amongst descendants of Central and Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jews and some French Canadians. What causes Tay-Sachs disease? TSD is caused by inheriting a 'double-dose' of a fault in a gene which codes for the HexA enzyme. Every person has two copies of this gene in each cell of their body. A person will only be affected by TSD if s/he has a fault (mutation) in both copies of the HEXA gene. This can only happen if one faulty copy is inherited from each parent. About one in every 26 Ashkenazi Jews and 1 in every 40 French Canadians carries one copy of the faulty gene and one regular copy of the gene. In the general population, however, only about one in 300 people carry a faulty copy of the HEXA gene. Carriers themselves are not affected by the disease.

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.
