Show transcribed image text Tay-Sachs Disease is a disease state discussed in class concerning lipids. Which particular type of lipid is unable to be degraded in individuals suffering from Tay-Sachs? Which type of cells are particularly impacted in individuals suffering from Tay-Sachs? Using the website (a nice academic reference in place of google), list a few symptoms of individuals suffering from Tay- Sachs? What is the life expectancy of individuals suffering from Tay-Sachs disease? Click the Genetic Changes tab. What gene is affected and what protein does it encode? Click on the Diagnosis & Management tab. Click the Genetics Testing Registry: Tay-Sachs Disease tab. What are the two major different types of clinical tests available – what would each be looking at?
