  1. sachs disease

    Sachs disease, also known as Tay-Sachs disease, is a rare, inherited disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It is caused by the absence of a vital enzyme, Hexosaminidase-A (Hex-A), which results in the accumulation of a specific fatty substance in the brain, leading to severe physical and mental deterioration. It is most commonly found in certain ethnic populations, including Ashkenazi Jews, French Canadians, and Cajuns of Louisiana.
