How can you tell if your child will have tay-sachs?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genetic screening: Early in pregnancy, many physicians order maternal screening for a panel of genetic diseases which may include tay sachs. If mother is a carrier, then father is also tested. If both parents are carriers then there is a 25% chance that their child will have tay sachs disease.
