Tay-Sach's Disease

Multiple mutations are responsible for Tay Sachs Disease. For example, Tay Sachs in the french Canadian population may be due to a different mutation then people of eastern European Jewish descent with Tay Sachs.

any mutation that causes the absence of the enzyme Hexosamindase (Hex-A) is a mutation that can cause a Tay Sachs genotype/phenotype within an individual

This disease does not favour one gender over another.

No; this is a common misconception. Anyone whose parents are both carriers of the gene for Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) may become afflicted with TSD. That being said, TSD is most common among the Ashkenazi Jewish population as approximately 1 in every 27 Ashkenazi Jewish people is a carrier of the faulty gene. In the general population, about 1 in every 300 people carries the gene for TSD. In the French-Canadian population, the Cajun population of Louisiana, and the Amish population of Pennsylvania, the faulty gene that causes TSD is a little bit more common (but still less common than in the Ashkenazi Jewish population).

no. tay-sachs is caused by a genetic muttation on chromosome 15. look it up on wikipedia.

Yes, Sommer Sachs is very bright. She is a close friend of mine. She got straight A's all year in 7th grade. Plus, she won 2nd in a essay contest in elementary against a middle schooler. Sommer Sachs is a very bright and sweet girl!

Tay-Sach's has a defective gene on chromosme 15

Some of them do.

About 16 cases of Tay-Sachs disease are diagnosed each year.

Tay-sachs is a hereditary disease. It is a recessive genetic disorder so both parents must carry at least one form of the gene for it to be passed on to any offspring. It is the degeneration of nerve cells in the brain caused by a buildup of gangliosides.

Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA gene on (human) chromosome 15. It is is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder and not sex-linked.
Two Tay-Sachs alleles are required for an individual to exhibit symptoms of the disease.
It causes a progressive deterioration of nerve cells and of mental and physical abilities that begins around six months of age and usually results in death by the age of four.

The Son Tay prison raid, conducted by U.S. forces on November 21, 1970, aimed to rescue American prisoners of war (POWs) held there during the Vietnam War. However, the operation was ultimately unsuccessful in rescuing any POWs, as they had been relocated prior to the raid. The mission is noted for its bold execution but resulted in no prisoners being freed.

Tay-Sachs disease is more common in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, regardless of gender. However, within this population, it affects both males and females equally. The disease's prevalence is linked to specific genetic mutations rather than gender itself. Overall, there is no significant gender bias in the incidence of Tay-Sachs disease.

Polydactylism is often prevalent in certain populations due to specific genetic traits that are passed down through generations, particularly in communities with a high degree of inbreeding, such as some Amish and certain African populations. In contrast, Tay-Sachs disease is more common in Ashkenazi Jewish populations due to a higher carrier rate of the recessive gene responsible for the condition, while polydactylism is less common due to different genetic factors. The differing prevalence of these traits within populations is a result of historical genetics, founder effects, and social factors influencing mating patterns.

Sex can be done in many forms, but generally it is penetration into an orifice in some shape or form. The only exception to this is that of tantric, which it more of a meditative form. The result is not the same for every person. Some experience a euphoric state, some experience mild to little sensation, some even have the opposite happen, where the person actually feels excruciating pain(however that is a disorder all on its own)

False. Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a mutation in the HEXA gene, leading to a deficiency in the enzyme hexosaminidase A, which is crucial for breaking down certain fats in the brain. It is not an adaptation but a genetic disorder that results in severe neurological impairment and early death. While certain genetic mutations can provide advantages in specific environments, Tay-Sachs does not confer such benefits.

I've been having sharp shooting pains unde and above the left breast area for about 2 weeks. I'm 30 yrs. old just so you know I'm not very old. Could you please help.
