April Is Tay Sachs Month
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 in-
herited fatal disease that attacks
young children and causes des-
truction 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 indentified
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 de-
terioration 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-
ries of the disease by means of a
simple blood test. Since 1978 over
509 people have been tested. Ref-
errals are increasing from indivi-
duals and physicians due to our
educational program of supply-
ing printed information and other
publicity.
