Tay-Sachs Disease

Tay-Sachs Disease is a fatal genetic disorder caused by the absence of the enzyme hexosaminidase A. This deficiency leads to the accumulation of GM2 ganglioside within nerve cells, resulting in progressive neurological damage. Tay-Sachs Disease is most common in infants, usually presenting symptoms by six months and typically resulting in death by age four.
