Education and awareness are
the goals of this year's Tay Sachs
Program sponsored by National
Council of Jewish Women,
Tampa Section in conjunction
with the University of South
Florida Genetics Program. The
joint program is now entering its
sixth year.
Tay Sachs is a genetically
inherited fatal disease that at-
tacks young children and causes
destruction of the nervous
system. Several such genetic or
inherited diseases are carried by
those of Jewish ancestry. Some of
these disorders, particularly
common to Jews, go back into
the early history of the Jewish
people. Some are of more recent
origin. Tay Sachs was first
identified less than one hundred
years ago.
Infants with Tay Sachs look
and behave normally at birth.
Normal development continues
for several months; then, sud-
denly at about six months
muscular weakness becomes
evident. Physical and mental
deterioration rapidly follow.
Death usually occurs between the
ages of three and five.
Today only uninformed
couples need suffer the anguish of
learning that a seemingly healthy
child is doomed because of Tay
Sachs. The Tay Sachs Program is
designed to prevent this tragic
genetic disease by detecting car-
riers of the disease by means of a
simple blood test. Since 1978 over
569 people have been tested.
Referrals are increasing from
individuals and physicians due to
our educational program of
supplying printed information
and other publicity.
During the month of April all
testing charges w ill be covered by
Tampa Section, National Council
of Jewish Women. Testing will be
at the University of South
Florida Medical School. Call 974-
2456 or 974-3310 for an appoint-
ment.
