Tay-sachs disease is a rare disorder that is caused from a missing enzyme that is used to break down fatty substances. The fatty substance is Gangliosides, which begins to build up to a toxic level in a child’s brain and begins to affect their nerve cells. As the disease begins to progress in the child, the control of their muscles weakens and it leads to blindness, paralysis, and eventually death. Symptoms begin to show in the first three to six months of an infant's life, but it can be…

and David Abshire died at the age of three to an incurable inheritable disease known as Tay- Sachs. The couple believed they would never have baby again, however, in the year 1994 the couple introduced to the world a completely healthy baby by the name of Brittany Nicole Abshire. Brittany was a special child. She was the first child in the world to be successfully screened for the incurable disease Tay-Sachs using the genetic testing method of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis. (The New York…

In the 1980’s, Nancy Wexler contributed to advances in medicine by discovering a genetic marker that could indicate inherited disorders linked to chromosomes, such as Down’s Syndrome, Huntington’s Disease, and Tay-Sachs Disease (Vaughn, 2013, p. 566). Since then, prenatal genetic screenings have become widely accessible through simple, low-risk procedures such as carrier testing, blood tests, and ultrasounds. These procedures are only capable of reporting the risk for inheriting abnormalities…

Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), also called GM2 gangliosidosis, is an uncommon disorder that is genetically inherited, which progressively destroys cells in the central nervous system. The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. Because the disorder is autosomal recessive, both parents must have the mutation in the gene in order for the child to be a carrier or have the disease. A child with parents that are both carriers has a 25 percent chance of getting Tay-Sachs and 50…

When genetic disorders are discussed, both in popular culture and in medicine, they are viewed as negative ways, and for obvious reasons: many genetic disorders, like the one Sierra has, can easily kill or seriously inhibit a person from living a “normal life.” Throughout recent medical history, there has been a lot of focus on learning new ways to control or treat certain genetic conditions. In fact, the entire discussion of how to treat genetic disorders can be brought back to our class…

children with their own DNA even though they are known carriers of genetic diseases.He uses Sarah and Abe Shapiro, a Jewish couple and known carriers of Tay-Sachs, as an example of being able to have their own healthy child. “Knowing their risk, Sarah and Abe used in vitro fertilization . . . Such was the way Michael was created” (Pence 60). Tay-Sachs is a common genetic disorder within the Jewish people affecting one out of twenty-seven Jews in America and in addition terminal not making it…

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…

Who is Hetty Goldman? Why is she so important? Hetty Goldman was an american archaeologist who was one of the first woman to undertake excavations in Greece and the Middle East. The reason she is so important is because of her contributions to the archaeological field as well as how she opening up the field of archaeology for woman . She “ was born December 19, 1881, in New York City”(“Hetty Goldman:Life”). Her mother and father were Sarah Adler Goldman and Julius goldman. Mrs. Goldman was the…

banking and commercial banking businesses while Morgan Stanley fits for those who are interested in dealing with banking businesses related with multinational corporations, governments, and high-net-worth individuals (JPMorgan vs. Morgan Stanley vs. Goldman Sachs | Comparison, 2016). Since JPMorgan now is under the Chase brand which focuses more on local banking services such as auto finance, retirement, educational loans and so on, unlike what Morgan Stanley is doing: offering banking services…

In the Achieve 3000 article “China and Japan: Can Animals Sense Trouble?” talks about the argument of whether nature and animals can or cannot predict and warn us of when a disaster is about to happen. This article provides reliable evidence for both sides of the topic that will help you decide which side you will be on. Evidence that is for animals can predict is from this article is a quote by seismologist Roger Musson: “there are several possible reasons for behavioral changes in animals…
