Tay Sachs disease and phenylketonuria are examples of?

Answer 1

Tay Sachs disease and phenylketonuria (PKU) are examples of genetic disorders caused by mutations in specific genes. Tay Sachs is a fatal neurological disorder caused by a deficiency in the enzyme hexosaminidase A, while PKU is a metabolic disorder resulting from a deficiency in the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase. Both conditions follow an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene to exhibit symptoms. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage these conditions.
