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
