Tay-Sachs disease is a rare autosomal recessive progressive neurodegenerative disorder. Patients usually exhibit a severe clinical course with death in early childhood. Early Tay-Sachs diagnosis is challenging because of the subtle clinical features and nonspecific biochemical markers. Accurate diagnosis is important for proper management, reducing morbidity, and parental counseling and prenatal diagnosis. This activity reviews the pathophysiology, clinical features, evaluation, and treatment of Tay-Sachs disease; it also highlights the role of the interprofessional team in management.
