Affiliated tissues include eye, spinal cord and brain, and related phenotypes are progressive spasticity and abnormal enzyme/coenzyme activity

Major Symptoms of Tay-Sachs Disease

Tay-Sachs disease is a genetic disorder that primarily affects the heart and nervous system. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness, wasting, and vision problems. The disease is caused by a deficiency of dystrophin, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact. Without dystrophin, muscle cells break down and are replaced with scar tissue, leading to progressive muscle weakness and wasting. The disease can also cause vision problems, including blindness, by affecting the optic nerve. Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a genetic defect disease that mainly affects the heart and nervous system. It is characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy and causes vision problems. The disease is caused by a lack of Dorfman's sign, a protein that helps keep muscle cells intact. Without Dorfman's sign, muscle cells are destroyed and replaced by scar tissue, leading to progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. The disease can also cause vision problems, including blindness, by affecting the optic nerve.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Tay-Sachs Disease

Suitable lifestyle options for people with Tay-Sachs disease include:

1. Avoiding infections: Tay-Sachs disease is a hereditary disease that is mainly inherited through genes. Therefore, people with the disease should avoid having sex with others who have the disease to reduce the risk of infection.

2. Healthy diet: Tay-Sachs disease has a certain relationship with diet. Patients should avoid eating high-cholesterol foods, such as eggs, pork liver, etc. , and eat more foods rich in vitamins C and E, such as citrus fruits, strawberries, mangoes, etc.

5. Receive psychological counseling: Tay-Sachs disease may have an impact on the patient's mental health, so patients should receive psychological counseling to obtain necessary support and help.
