TAY-SACHS DISEASE
Patricia Burns, Sarah Leavitt, and Michelene Rivas

"TSD in the Ashkenazi Jewish populations is 100 times higher than in most non-Ashkenazi populations. The disease also occurs at a higher rate in French Canadians in Eastern Quebec and among Franco-Americans in New England, probably due to founder effect and migration (Kaplan, 1998)."
