Each year, about 16 cases of Tay-Sachs are diagnosed in the United States. Although Jews of central and eastern European descent are at the highest risk, it is now also common in non-Jewish populations, including people of French-Canadian/Cajun heritage.

Who are famous people who has had tay sachs?

There are probably not any movie stars who have ever had Tay-Sachs disease.Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is an incurable disease with three classifications: infantile, juvenile, and adult. However, most people with TSD have the infantile form and are diagnosed at a young age. Babies diagnosed with TSD usually die by the age of 5. As such, it is very unlikely that anyone suffering from TSD would live long enough to become a movie star.Even if someone lived out his or her childhood and later developed the juvenile or adult form of Tay-Sachs disease, he or she would suffer the symptoms of TSD including seizures, loss of motor skills, loss of sight, and loss of hearing. Sadly but truly, anyone with these symptoms would probably not be hired as a movie star.
