Ethnicity â Although Crohnâs disease can affect any ethnic group, Caucasians and people of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish descent have the highest risk. American Jewish people of European descent are four to five times more likely to develop IBD than the general population.
Here is a list of diseases that are often screened for in Jewish couples who are planning to have children because of an elevated risk of carrying a recessive mutation. Researchers have identified many more genetic diseases affecting those of Ashkenazi heritage than those of Sephardic and Mizrahi descent.aucher disease type 1 is the most mild form of the disease and affects those of Ashkenazi Jewish descent in greater numbers. Approximately 1 in 16 is a carrier and 1 in 855 has Gaucher disease. Among the general population, approximately 1 in 100/200 is a carrier; about 1 in 60,000 has the disease.
