Tae Zaks: The method of conducting the investigation and understanding its results

Tay-Sachs, sponsored by Tae Zaca, is a genetic disease. This disease is caused by a lack of hexosaminidase that plays a role in the metabolism of ganglioside, which is the substances that are nerve coverage. In this disease, the child suffers from a nervous system defect, including: a child’s movement defect. Design. Mental disability. Reduced muscle strength. In most cases, the child dies at the age of 5, it should be noted that this disease is transmitted by recessive heritability; It is possible today to identify people with this delicate gene through a blood test, so it is preferable to do this test before pregnancy. In principle, it is sufficient for one of the spouses to conduct the investigation, as if he does not have a shortage of the gene, then it is not necessary for his partner to test it, but if the first partner suffers from a shortage of this gene, it is preferable to take this test. How to conduct the investigation is the required sample amount 3 – 5 milliliters of blood, in some cases an additional sample is taken and placed in a test tube containing anticoagulants, and it is not necessary for fasting or any special preparations. General warnings in the blood test The following complications may occur during the investigation, which includes the following: Excessive bleeding on the needle access site. Blood accumulation under the skin. Dizziness or faint if you see blood. Infection on the needle ground. During pregnancy: A blood test is not done in the case of pregnancy, but the liquid examination of the placenta is done to ensure that the fetus is not infected with the disease. The results of the right results of this investigation are the lack of a surge in the gene responsible for the production of hexosaminidase. In the event that one of the spouses wear the mutation, one of the two partners initially does the test, if the first partner suffers from a shortage of this gene, that is, he has a mutation, it is preferable for the second partner to take this test. In the event that both spouses are pregnant with the gene, an examination can be conducted before the birth of the placenta liquid, and if the fetus is proven with the disease, it is possible to do the abortion of the fetus or a premature birth.
