Origin and spread of the 1278insTATC mutation causing TayâSachs disease in Ashkenazi Jews: Genetic drift as a robust and parsimonious hypothesis. Human Genetics 114 (4): 366â376. pmid 14727180.
Tay-Sachs disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. The disorder results from changes (mutations) of a gene known as the HEXA gene, which regulates production of the hexosaminidase A enzyme. The HEXA gene has been mapped to the long arm (q) of chromosome 15 (15q23-q24).
