Tay - Sachs disease is a fatal and genetic disorder. The disease “leads to gradual deterioration of the central nervous system. ” A child inherits the genetic abnormality if both parents are carriers of the TS gene. The gene mutation that is inherited with TSD is Hex- A. Since there is a lack of enzyme Hex -A a substance called GM2 begins to accumulate. Babies lack this important enzyme which later leads to progressive destruction of the brain’s nerves cells as their lives progress. (McDowell…
