Tay-Sachs disease is a rare, hereditary disease that affects young children, primarily Ashkenazi Jews, French Canadians, and isolated or self-selecting populations. This work discusses the nature of the disease, why it affects certain groups of people more often than others, and how genetic screening can help detect carriers of the Tay-Sachs gene.
