Tay-Sachs Disease - Patient Info
Tay-Sachs disease (and its variants) are caused by absence or defects of the alpha subunit of hexosaminidase A. This leads to the accumulation of GM2 ganglioside in neurons of the central nervous system and retina. This causes progressive neurodegeneration and developmental delay.

Tay-Sachs Disease - Genetics Home Reference
The most common form of Tay-Sachs disease becomes apparent in infancy. Infants with this disorder typically appear normal until the age of 3 to 6 months, when their development slows and muscles used for movement weaken. Affected infants lose motor skills such as turning over, sitting, and crawling. They also develop an exaggerated startle reaction to loud noises. Learn more here.

Tay Sachs Disease - NORD (National Organization for Rare Disorders)
Tay-Sachs disease is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder in which deficiency of an enzyme (hexosaminidase A) results in excessive accumulation of certain fats (lipids) known as gangliosides in the brain and nerve cells. This abnormal accumulation of gangliosides leads to progressive dysfunction of the central nervous system. This disorder is categorized as a lysosomal storage disease.
