A member asked:
If you were half black half jew, would you have the same chances of getting tay sachs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: The condition requires the coming together of two carrier parents for the gene. The black side of this relationship almost never would have the tay sachs - anymore than the white side would be a carrier for sickle cell.
