Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited disease of the central nervous system passed from parents
to child. Both parents must be carriers of a mutation in the HEXA gene to pass the disease
on to their children. If you know that you are a carrier of this abnormal HEXA gene, we invite
you to participate in our research project.
Alex Whitney
Your participation will contribute to the knowledge gained from this research project. Knowledge
gained will be used to help others through the development of new and improved carrier
screening tests for people like you.
We are looking for 50 people known to carry the abnormal Tay-Sachs gene. We ask participants
in the project to donate about 1 tablespoon of blood for test development. Only a single visit
is required.
