Detrioration: An autosomal recessive genetic disorder. In its most common variant (known as infantile tay–sachs disease), it causes a progressive deterioration of mental and physical abilities that commences around six months of age. There is regression of development. Patients become deaf and blind and have a shortened life. It is quite sad.
