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. A much rarer form of the disorder which occurs in patients in their twenties and early thirties is characterized by unsteadiness of gait and progressive neurological deterioration. Patients with Tay-Sachs have a "cherry-red" spot in the back of their eyes (the retina Pathogenesis The condition is caused by insufficient activity of an enzyme called hexosaminidase A that catalyzes the biodegradation of acidic fatty materials known as gangliosides . Gangliosides are made and biodegraded rapidly in early life as the brain develops. Patients and carriers of Tay-Sachs disease can be identified by a simple blood test that measures hexosaminidase A activity. Both parents must be

Michael Kaback , University of Califoria, San Diego, U.S.A. Description Tay-Sachs disease is a rare hereditary disease caused by a genetic mutation that leaves the body unable to produce an enzyme necessary for fat metabolism in nerve cells, producing central nervous system degeneration. In infants, it is characterized by progressive mental deterioration, blindness, paralysis, epileptic seizures, and death by age four. Adult-onset Tay-Sachs occurs in persons who have a genetic mutation that is similar but allows some production of the missing enzyme. There is no treatment for Tay-Sachs. A test to determine whether an infant is carrying the Tay-Sachs disease was introduced in 1969. However, work continues to be done to help find a cure. Because there is no cure for this deadly disease, genetic research is essential. Advances in Genetics presents an eclectic mix of articles of use to all human and molecular geneticists. They are written and edited by recognized leaders in the field and make this an essential series of books for anyone in the genetics field.

Suzie Gold Last Updated: >>More from SJ Health E-mail this to a friend Tay-Sachs Disease Tay-Sachs disease is the most well known Jewish genetic disease, potentially affecting one in every 2,500 Ashkenazi Jewish newborns. 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.
