Tay-Sachs disease happens because a fatty substance in the child's brain builds up to toxic levels and affects the child's nerve cells. The disease occurs when harmful quantities of cell membrane components known as gangliosides accumulate in the brain's nerve cells, eventually leading to the premature death of the cells. A ganglioside is a form of sphingolipid, which makes Tay-Sachs disease a member of the sphingolipidoses. There is no known cure or treatment.

No. The trait that causes sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait, which means that if both parents have the trait, there is a 1/4 chance their child will have it. The child can be a carrier however and not display symptoms, but there is no way for a child to get sickle cell from parents that don't have the gene.
