What is Tay Sachs and Sandhoff Disease?

Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease are part of a group of rare, inherited diseases called GM2 gangliosidoses. They mainly affect infants and children; however, adolescents and adults can also develop them. These diseases cause damage to the nerves in the brain leading to progressive difficulties with speaking, moving and thinking. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure and Tay-Sachs disease and Sandhoff disease are life-limiting diseases. Understanding how these diseases impact the body can help people to manage them and provide adequate care and support for those affected.   The Cure and Action for Tay-Sachs (CATS) Foundation -    / @thecatsfoundationare   - are a UK-based patient advocacy group committed to supporting people with Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease and their families. Cognitant supported the CATS Foundation by developing a unique online information resource called the Toolkit for Tay-Sachs and Sandhoff disease to support people following a diagnosis.
