82. BELARUS NEWSLETTER across the years. Theirs was the first child to die of familial dysautonomia(FD). But thousands more would suffer the same fate. http://www.jewishgen.org/Belarus/newsletter/dysautonomia.htm

ONLINE NEWSLETTER (No. 14/2002 - December 2002) Editor: Fran Bock Familial dysautonomia (FD) is not as well known as Tay-Sachs, but according to Dr. Sonia Peltzer , it is every bit as common among Ashkenazic Jews. Her article explains the origins and devastation of this genetic disease, as well as some encouraging scientific developments. We thank Dr. Peltzer for permission to publish her article here. Reprinting or copying of is not allowed The Echo of a Heart's Break by Sonia Peltzer, M.D. About 500 years ago, in a shtetl near the town of Minsk, Russia, a child was born to a Jewish couple. The child looked every bit like the couple's other children, but hidden inside its body was a secret that would touch the lives of thousands and would take 500 years to repair. The baby grew, became an adult, and was married. Soon children arrived, a happy family, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A large family that by appearances was no different than their neighbors in the shtetl they called home. Until one day, years later, a marriage match was made and cousins married; second or third cousins, distant relatives but for their connection to their one shared ancestor.

AUGUST 17, 2001 current issue back issues subscribe Race To Discover Gene Mutation Ends in a Virtual Tie Massachusetts General, Fordham University Share Credit for Dysautonomia Advance By MIRIAM TAUBER In a remarkable confluence of scientific sleuthing, two medical teams, working independently, discovered the gene mutation that causes familial dysautonomia within days of each other this past December. The teams, which are based respectively at Fordham University in New York and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, published their finding in the March issue of the American Journal of Human Genetics. The discovery of the FD gene means a carrier test for th atal recessive genetic disorder can be offered to the population in which the disease is most prevalent: Ashkenazi Jews. The Massachusetts General medical team and the Dysautonomia Foundation offer testing at New York University Medical Center, New York's Mount Sinai Hospital and Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem. The Fordham team will be making carrier testing available at Albert Einstein Medical Center in the Bronx. The Massachusetts General Hospital medical team, under the direction of Dr. James Gusella, had been researching FD for the past 10 years. While the Fordham team found the gene several days before the Massachusetts General doctors, Dr. Gusella laid the groundwork for the discovery in 1993 with work that showed that most FD patients shared a DNA mutation on chromosome nine. Once that mutation was identified, it was a matter of finding where exactly on that chromosome it is found.

History Genzyme Genetics Expands Test Menu for Ashkenazi Jewish Genetic Diseases Date: June 26, 2002 Genzyme Genetics, a business unit of Genzyme General, announced on June 26 that it has expanded its menu of tests for childhood genetic diseases found disproportionately among people of Ashkenazi Jewish descent. The new test menu - which now includes Mucolipidosis IV (ML IV) and Familial Dysautonomia (FD) - allows Ashkenazi Jewish couples to determine if they are carriers of up to nine fatal or debilitating genetic diseases. Each parent's carrier status for all nine diseases can be determined through a single blood sample. Although the incidence of each of these diseases is relatively low across the general population, there is an approximately one-in-five chance that an Ashkenazi Jewish individual will be a carrier for one of them. "We are proud to be the only commercial laboratory to offer such an extensive test menu for genetic diseases found more commonly among the Ashkenazi Jewish population," said Mara Aspinall, president of Genzyme Genetics. "Our strong commitment to high quality genetic counseling as an essential component of testing gives patients and their doctors the insights they need to make informed reproductive choices."
