Epidemiology
Tay-sachs is most prevalent in the Jewish population in Eastern Europe. A whopping 1 in 27 Jews in the United States carry the tay-sachs gene. In the non-Jewish population, the rate is 1 in 250 people affected with the tay-sachs gene. Interesting enough, if you are an ancestor of Ireland, you are at risk for the tay-sachs gene. In the Irish American population the rate is 1 in 50.
