    re:  Tay-Sachs, specifically, Late or Adult Onset

    My oldset son, not pictured, is 25.  At 19 he was diagnosed as being afflicted with schizophrenia.  It was after doing ancestral research for my paternal grandmother that I learned she was of Jewish (probably ashkennazi) heriztage) and I know I have 3 cousins who died from infantile Tay Sachs.  My son's condition is severe and he is essentially lost to us; I still would like to know if I can learn if he is possibly afflicted with LOTS or if there is a way to test for this through me? thank you for your help, Cindy Rumlow
