A member asked:
Tay sachs has no cure and a child could die when they are around 4 or 5. what are do i do as parent about this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tay Sachs: The tay sachs trait can be determined by a blood test. If it turns positive, marrying a person without the trait can save you severe anxiety and agony later on. If your spouse happens to be positive for tay sachs as well, consulting a geneticist will be very helpful in making your decisions on choosing to proceed with a pregnancy or not..
