Is Tay-Sachs Disease a result of nondisjunction??
Question: I have been looking everywhere for the answer to this question and still cannot find it. If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated! If it is, which chromosomes are affected?
Answers: Tay-Sachs is a homozygous recessive disease that typically affects Ashkenasi Jews. It involves the mutation of a gene that codes for a protein involved in lysosomal lipid storage. (Technically it is a GM2 Gangliosidosis )
Diseases from nondisjunction typically result in either too many or too few chromosomes (think Turners, Kleinfelters, Downs, Patau, or Edwards Syndromes).
I cant find the information but there are 2 links at the bottom of the page below where you may be able to get an answer.

you go to the doctor and get your own checkup, leave your dad alone about going til you get your results, then you can suggest he go. respect his choice either way.
