Jewish Genetic Diseases


There are a number of serious genetic diseases for which persons of Jewish heritage are more likely to be carriers than the general population. Carriers are healthy individuals and are unaffected by the disease for which they were identified as carriers.. Two carriers of the same disease have a 1 in 4 risk with each pregnancy of having a child affected with the disease for which they were identified as carriers. Genetic screening, which can determine carrier status, is available. There are separate screening recommendations for Ashkenazi, Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews.

There are a number of diseases for which persons of Jewish heritage (at least one grandparent) are more likely to be carriers than the general population. A carrier is not affected by the disease; however two carriers of the same disease have a 1 in 4 chance with each pregnancy of having a child affected by the disease (See Genetics and Carrier Screening). (http://www.jewishgeneticdiseases.org/genetics-and-carrier-screening/) These diseases are serious: fatal, life threatening or life-altering to the children born with them.

There are different genetic concerns for people of Ashkenazi Jewish background (Germany or Eastern Europe), and persons of Sephardic or Mizrahi Jewish background (Mediterranean, Iran/Persia or Middle Eastern).

Ashkenazi Jewish Carrier Testing
Certain ethnic groups have been found to have an increased risk for particular genetic diseases. In Jewish people of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) ancestry, several such inherited disorders are known. GenPath (http://www.genpathdiagnostics.com/womens-health/inherigen/ashkenazi-jewish-carrier-testing/) offers carrier testing for the following diseases:

Bloom Syndrome
Bloom Syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder presenting with prenatal and postnatal growth deficiency and feeding difficulties. Affected individuals have increased susceptibilities to infectious diseases, diabetes, and various types of cancer. Men are infertile and women develop early menopause. Intelligence is usually normal, but may be limited. Bloom syndrome is rare, but more common in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Canavan Disease
Canavan Disease is an autosomal recessive disease that usually presents with developmental delays between the ages of three and six months, with progressive muscle weakness leading to an inability to sit, stand or walk. The onset and severity of symptoms is variable, and life expectancy ranges from early childhood through the teenage years. Canavan disease is seen more frequently in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder that affects the lungs, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract and reproductive systems. Symptoms vary among affected individuals, and most frequently includes chronic lung infections that can progress to end stage lung disease. Individuals with Cystic Fibrosis have normal intelligence, affected males may experience infertility, and the average age of survival is currently 37 years. Cystic Fibrosis occurs in many populations, however the incidence is highest in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish and European Caucasian descent.

Dihydrolipoamide Dehydrogenase Deficiency (DLD)
Dihydrolipoamide Dehydrogenase Deficiency (DLD) is also known as Maple Syrup Urine Disease Type 3, or Lipoamide Dehydrogenase Deficiency. DLD is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder that may present at birth, childhood or adulthood. Symptoms such as recurrent vomiting, episodes of abdominal pain, an enlarged liver, and neurological complications are features of the disorder. Although DLD is a rare condition, the disease is described more frequently among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish Ancestry.

Familial Dysautonomia
Familial Dysautonomia is an autosomal recessive disorder with onset at birth characterized by general weakness, insensitivity to pain and temperature differences, imbalance, decreased reflexes, and often feeding difficulties. Children with Familial Dysautonomia are frequently hospitalized and have a shortened life span and risk of sudden death. Familial Dysautonomia is almost exclusively reported in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

Familial Hyperinsulinism
Familial Hyperinsulinism is an autosomal recessive disorder that presents shortly after birth, with severe episodes of low blood sugar within the first 2 days of life, and failure to thrive. Repeated incidences of low sugar can lead to seizures, brain damage, and in severe cases, coma and death. Familial Hyperinsulinism is rare, but more common in the Ashkenazi Jewish and Finnish populations.

Fanconi Anemia Type C
Fanconi Anemia Type C is an autosomal recessive disorder which results in severe anemia, learning disabilities and mental retardation, as well as physical anomalies such as limb defects. Individuals with Fanconi Anemia Type C are at increased risk of developing cancer, and rarely live past 30 years of age. Fanconi Anemia Type C is rare, but is more common among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

Gaucher Disease
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder with symptoms including bone disease, enlarged liver and spleen, anemia, and lung disease. Gaucher disease is subdivided into Types 1, 2 and 3, based on clinical symptoms. Gaucher disease Type 1 is variable, with symptoms ranging from mild adult onset to severe, childhood onset, and can be treated with enzyme replacement therapy and bone marrow transplantation. Individuals with non-type 1 disease may be helped with bone marrow transplantation. Gaucher Disease, particularly Type 1, is more common in individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

Glycogen Storage Disease-Type 1A
Glycogen Storage Disease-Type 1A is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by an abnormal buildup of fat and glycogen in various tissues of the body. Glycogen Storage Disease-Type 1A is associated with short stature, liver enlargement, kidney disease, osteoporosis, gout, pancreatitis, and seizure disorders. If diagnosed early, adherence to a specific diet may improve prognosis and lifespan. When not treated, survival to adulthood is rare. This condition is more common in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, but also found in Caucasian, Hispanic and certain Asian populations.

Joubert Syndrome 2
Joubert Syndrome 2 is an autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by a distinctive brain malformation visible on MRI examination, low muscle tone, an abnormal breathing pattern, and developmental delay. Additional features may include abnormal eye movements, abnormal gait (ataxia), mental retardation, vision problems, extra fingers and/or toes, and kidney disease. The clinical findings and severity are highly variable. There is no specific treatment. Joubert Syndrome 2 may be more common among individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish descent, but the condition has also been reported in persons of other ethnic backgrounds.

Maple Syrup Urine Type 1B (MSUD Type 1B)
Maple Syrup Urine Type 1B (MSUD Type 1B), is an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder which presents at birth with a maple syrup odor of the ear wax and urine. If left undetected and untreated, infants experience irritability and lethargy, poor feeding, episodes of apnea, and abnormal and repetitive eye movements. Without intervention, the disease progresses and can lead to coma, respiratory failure and death. Currently there is no cure, however early identification and dietary management can dramatically improve prognosis. MSUD Type 1B is more frequent in individuals with Ashkenazi Jewish Ancestry.

Mucolipidosis Type IV
Mucolipidosis Type IV is an autosomal recessive progressive disorder characterized by severe developmental and motor delay, as well as vision problems. Symptoms usually become apparent within the first year of life and individuals with this condition usually live into adulthood, but may have a shorter lifespan. Mucoplidosis Type IV is rare, but more common (and typically more severe) in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Nemaline Myopathy 2
Nemaline Myopathy 2 is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness, especially in the face, neck and limbs, low muscle tone, depressed or absent tendon reflexes, and usually presents in infancy. Nemaline Myopathy 2 is the most common cause of Nemaline Myopathy in the Ashkenazi Jewish Population. Nemaline Myopathy has also been described in other ethnicities.

Niemann-Pick Disease, Types A and B
Niemann-Pick disease, Types A and B are autosomal recessive disorders which differ in their clinical symptoms and severity. Type A is the most severe form, presenting in infancy with progressive enlargement of the liver and spleen, followed by feeding difficulties, poor growth, severe developmental delays and respiratory complications. The average life expectancy for a child with type A is 3 years. Type B, a milder and more variable form of the disease, usually presents in early childhood with deteriorating liver function, short stature and cardiac disease, and has an expected survival from early to late adulthood. Type B patients remain mostly free of neurological problems. Type A is more prevalent in the Ashkenazi Jewish population, while Type B is more prevalent in the Saudi Arabian population.

Tay-Sachs Disease
Tay-Sachs Disease is an autosomal recessive, progressive, neurological disorder that causes motor weakness, seizures, vision loss, and paralysis. An acute, or classic, form of Tay-Sachs presents with loss of developmental skills between 6 and 10 months of age, with a rapid progression of neurological symptoms leading to death in early childhood. Other variant forms differ in age of onset and severity. Tay-Sachs disease is more common in certain populations, including Ashkenazi Jewish, French Canadian, Moroccan Jewish, Cajun, Irish and Japanese.

Usher Syndrome Type 1F
Usher Syndrome Type 1F is one of several types of Usher Syndrome, which are characterized by hearing and vision loss. Usher Syndrome Type 1F is an autosomal recessive disorder, and hearing loss is typically congenital, with progressive vision loss presenting in adolescence. Usher Syndrome Type 1F is more common among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.

Usher Syndrome Type 3
Usher Syndrome Type 3 is one of several types of Usher Syndrome, which are characterized by hearing and vision loss. Usher Syndrome Type 3 is an autosomal recessive disorder, with progressive hearing loss occurring after a child develops language skills. Developmental milestones are generally normal, and there is late onset progressive loss of vision. Although Usher Syndrome Type 3 is one of the more rare types of Usher syndrome, it is more commonly found in Ashkenazi Jewish and Finnish individuals.

Walker-Warburg Syndrome
Walker-Warburg syndrome (WWS), caused by changes in the FKTN gene, is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by muscle weakness, low muscle tone, feeding difficulties, seizures, eye abnormalities and a characteristic brain malformation associated with severe developmental delay. Life expectancy in children with WWS is up to three years of age. Although WWS has been described in a variety of ethnic populations, WWS caused by changes in the FKTN gene is more commonly found among individuals of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.
