Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive disease that affects the lysosome storage in cells. Over time‚ the disease deteriorates the functions of the body leading to blindness‚ deafness‚ dementia‚ and recurrent convulsions in the terminal stages. Unfortunately‚ its main victims are children‚ who often show the first signs and symptoms at around 6 months old and usually do not live past the age of 5. There is also a juvenile and late-onset form that may not appear until the second or third decade

The author that had the strongest argument is Jeffrey Sachs‚ the author of “End of Poverty”. His assertion is the strongest because it’s stating that we can end poverty by 2025‚ which is only eight years away. I have many reasons why I chose Jeffrey Sachs’s assertion instead of Renee Carver. One reason is that Sachs’s is trying to end impoverishment‚“..the end of poverty a realistic possibility by the year 2025.”(Sachs‚ 291) While Carver is telling her readers‚ how we can use the internet‚ to

Nonsampling errors can be minimized if questions are prepared carefully and data are handled cautiously. Many types of systematic errors or biases can occur in a survey‚ including selection error‚ nonresponse error‚ response error‚ and voluntary response error. The following chart shows the types of errors. (i) Selection Error: When we need to select a sample‚ we use a list

The Systematic Oppression of Jews in Nazi Germany The Holocaust will forever be remembered as the systematic genocide of the Jewish people‚ when approximately six million Jews in Europe were murdered under the Nazi regime. The question that comes to mind is why did nobody stop this event or speak against the horrors that occurred in the ghettoes or concentration camps? How could this happen in the 20th century‚ when the human race was thought to be evolved and modernized? It occurred because there

Genetic Information Tay Sachs is a devastating genetic disease. There are three different forms of the disease- Early Onset which emerges around three to six months of age‚ Juvenile which mainly appears between the ages of two and five but could start anytime in childhood‚ and Late Onset which mostly presents in adolescence or early adulthood but could occur at any time. Tay Sachs is caused by a mutation--a deletion of chromosome 15. The HEX A gene on this chromosome is responsible for creating

Tay Sachs Disease Tay Sachs disease is caused by the homozygous recessive gene on chromosome 15 that codes for the lack of production of hexosaminidase-A (Hex-A) [1]. Since there is no HexA‚ a fatty substance is allowed build up abnormally in nerve cells‚ which damages the cells and the brain [1]. Males and females are equally likely to carry this recessive gene but the heterozygous gene carriers are not affected‚ because they still have the dominant gene [2]. If both parents have the heterozygous

Tay-Sachs Disease History: The disease is named for Warren Tay (1843-1927)‚ a British ophthalmologist who in 1881 described a patient with a cherry-red spot on the retina of the eye.

Sachs also recognized the familial nature of the disorder‚ and‚ by observing numerous cases‚ he noted that most babies with Tay-Sachs
