Introduction
Tay-Sachs disease is a disorder that damages the nerve cells that are responsible for the brain function. It is a genetic disorder and is responsible for most of the spinal cord diseases. The most common types of Tay-Sachs diseases include the infantile Tay-Sachs disease that becomes known after six months (Karacan et al., 413). This affects a child who displays the inability to turn over or crawl. The child cannot sit in many cases. A seizure and loss of hearing follow the symptoms. The child loses his or her ability to move.
History of the Disorder
The history of this disease comes from the two physicians, Waren Tay and his fellow physician Benard Sachs. The two of them described the progression of this disease and gave various criteria that could be used to differentiate it from the other disorders that had the same symptoms. The first cases where these symptoms were discovered were in the Jewish families. The observation that was made by Tay was done in the year 1881 (McPartland, 2015, 44). After four years, the same findings were made by Benard Sachs. He described his case as the “arrested development of cerebral.” It is these symptoms that the scientists described these symptoms after discovering that they had a genetic background.
