Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the HEXA gene, which leads to the deficiency of an enzyme important for breaking down certain lipids in the brain. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning a child must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to develop the disease. While environmental factors do not trigger Tay-Sachs, certain genetic backgrounds, such as Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry, have higher carrier rates. Thus, it is primarily a genetic condition rather than one influenced by external factors.

Can a bowel resection cause celiac disease?
No, a bowel resection cannot cause celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically predisposed individuals. While bowel resection can affect the digestive system, it does not lead to the development of celiac disease, which is related to genetic factors and immune responses rather than surgical interventions.

Is Treatment of genetic disease the same as genetic treatment of disease?
no but as I see it treatment of genetic disease is treating a genetic problem as a genetic treatment of a disease is using genetics to stop a certain disease that can be treated with genetics
