Answer:

Tay-Sachs disease is a rare genetic illness that is handed down from parents to their children. 

It's caused by a lack of an enzyme that aids in the 

digestion of fatty foods. 

These fatty molecules, known as gangliosides, build up to hazardous amounts in the child's brain, affecting nerve cellfunction.
