Can Carriers of Tay-Sachs Disease in Jewish Communities Have Healthy Children? In this informative video, we discuss the implications of Tay-Sachs disease within Jewish communities, focusing on the genetic aspects and the options available for carriers. Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic condition that affects the HEXA gene and is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. We will cover the statistics surrounding carrier rates, particularly among Ashkenazi Jews, and the importance of understanding the risks involved when both parents are carriers. We will also highlight the advancements in carrier screening programs that have been implemented since the 1970s, enabling couples to identify their carrier status before starting a family. This has led to informed family planning decisions and a significant reduction in the number of babies born with Tay-Sachs disease. Additionally, we will explore various reproductive options that couples can consider to manage the risk of having a child affected by Tay-Sachs, including prenatal testing, in vitro fertilization with genetic diagnosis, and other choices that may be available. Join us in this discussion to learn more about how genetic screening and reproductive technologies can help support healthy family planning in Jewish communities.
