What are some statistics for tay-sachs disease risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: This is an autosomal recessive disease, meaning that both parents need to be carriers, and their children will have a 25% chance of the disease. The mutation is more prominent in certain populations, specifically the ashkenazi jewish population.
