Since the Jewish community began testing for Tay Sachs Disease more than 35 years ago, the number of Jewish children born with this fatal disease has dropped from approximately 40 to 4 each year. This dramatic, 90-percent reduction reminds us that knowledge is power, and that learning is key to survival. Today, researchers have verified the genetic markers for 25 diseases common among Ashkenazim Jews, so whether you are sick or concerned about your risk for a hereditary disease, concerned about the risks and benefits of certain medications, or plan to start a family one day, a simple at-home DNA test can help inform and prepare you for a lifetime of health and wellness. It's not just about Tay Sachs anymore. Visit DNATraits to learn more.
