Tay-Sach's Disease

[Singhlarry23]

I'm doing a report for my science class and my topic is Tay-Sach's Disease.

Has anyone had Tay-Sach's Disease or knows someone that does/had and could tell me a few information about it?

Note: Needed 2 sources. One as a google one and another as a person.

please, do not use information you need like that from an open forum like this. i'm sure many people here could answer some of those questions you've asked (even i can after taking genetics), but the reliability of that information would always have to get confirmed by another source such as geneticist/physician or a legitimate online source. if u need a first person source, go to a hospital and talk to a doctor. a more appropriate question for btf would be to ask for anyone that has experienced tay sachs (thru friends, family, work, etc) and to describe it that way.
