Tay–Sachs disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The HEXA gene is located on the long (q) arm of human chromosome 15, between positions 23 and 24. Tay–Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, meaning that when both parents are carriers, there is a 25% risk of giving birth to an affected child with each ...
Tay–Sachs disease occurs when hexosaminidase A loses its ability to function. People with Tay–Sachs disease are unable to remove the GalNAc residue from the G M2 ganglioside, and as a result, they end up storing 100 to 1000 times more G M2 gangliosides in the brain than the normal person. Over 100 different mutations have been discovered ...
[1] All three disorders are rare in the general population. Tay–Sachs disease has become famous as a public health model because an enzyme assay test for TSD was discovered and developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, providing one of the first "mass screening" tools in medical genetics. It became a research and public health model for ...
