Tay-Sachs is a devastating disease affecting lysosomal storage. According to McCance & Huether (2014)‚ it is due to a deficiency in the lysosomal enzyme hexosaminidates A (HexA) that’s function is to degrade GM2 gangliosides (fatty acids) in nerve cells. Those diagnosed with Tay-Sachs do not have the ability to degrade this fatty acid and as a result‚ it builds up in the body causing nerve cell toxicity. It is genetically inherited through an autosomal recessive pattern meaning that both parents

Tay-sachs Disease Genetic disorders happen every day‚ children spend everyday in the hospital. Tay-Sachs is named from Warren Tay (1843-1927) and Bernard Sachs(1858-1954).Tay-Sachs disease is a rare hereditary disease caused by a genetic transfer that leaves the body unable to produce an enzyme necessary for fat metabolism in nerve cells‚ producing central nervous system degeneration. Tay-sachs symptoms are diagnosed according to what causes Tay-sachs. The disease is inherited doctors after diagnosis

Tay-Sachs is a rare genetic disorder that slowly destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord and this disease effects millions of people (Tay-Sachs GHR). Tay-Sachs can’t be spread as it’s a genetic disorder. It is caused by a genetic mutation in the HEXA genes (Tay-Sachs GHR). People who have Tay-Sachs have problems with the enzyme called beta hexosamidase A and this enzyme is supposed to clean up the buildup of the molecule called GM2 ganglioside within cells but if it doesn’t it leads to

What is Tay-Sachs Disease? Tay-Sachs disease is a fatal genetic lipid storage disorder in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance called ganglioside GM2 build up in tissues and nerve cells in the brain. The condition is caused by insufficient activity of an enzyme called beta-hexosaminidase A that catalyzes the biodegradation of acidic fatty materials known as gangliosides. Gangliosides are made and biodegraded rapidly in early life as the brain develops. Infants with Tay-Sachs disease appear

1) Tay Sachs disease is one of many lysosomal storage diseases‚ this is caused by the lysosomes inability to produce certain enzymes needed to breakdown macromolecules. In Tay Sachs‚ the lysosome is unable to produce the enzyme beta-hexosaminidase A‚ which breaks down gangliosides within brain cells. Tay Sachs predominantly affects infants‚ and unfortunately there is no cure‚ symptoms include seizures‚ deafness‚ progressive blindness‚ and muscle stiffness. Gaucher disease is caused by the inability
