Tay-Sachs Disease

I am glad I bought this book! I find it very interesting to read about genetic disorders! I will say that this is a very informative book for anyone who has been involved in genetic disorders! It is sad that children who are afflicted with this disorder have such brief lives since their bodies become so ravaged from this disorder! I hope that there will be hope in finding a cure for Tay-Sachs disease and other serious inherited disorders which children can have! It is a book for anyone who would like help if they'd had a child with Tay-Sachs Disease or know of families who lost a child/children to Tay-Sachs Disease! Dawn E. Lowenstein
