What Is Tay-Sachs Disease?
4. Diagnosis
Health care professionals often look at symptoms, medical history, physical examinations, and laboratory tests to make diagnoses for Tay-Sachs disease. It can be challenging to diagnose the condition because it is so rare, but if you reveal that you have a genetic predisposition to the condition, it can help aid a diagnosis.
There is genetic testing available to test specifically for this condition. If you’re interested in learning more about this type of testing, you can consult with your doctor. He or she may recommend genetic testing if you have a family history of the condition or are in a high-risk group.
