Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease which results in a lack of myelin (the fatty acid which surrounds nerve fibers), while Tay-Sachs disease is caused by having too much of a fatty acid called ganglioside GM2 which, at high quantities, causes nerves to distend and lose their function.
Additionally, while MS can occur in anyone in the population, regardless of familial history of the disease (although first-degree relatives with MS increases your risk), in order to contract Tay-Sachs disease, both parents have to be carriers of the mutated gene which causes the disease. In those cases, the child will have a 1 in 4 chance of developing Tay-Sachs disease.
