Abstract
Dr. Ed McCabe, Chief of the Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA, talks about the link between certain genetic disorders and ethnicity. He focuses on Tay-Sachs disease, which shows up most commonly among Ashkenazi Jews and French Canadians of southeastern Quebec, and Sickle Cell disease, which is most commonly associated with African-Americans but which can occur in individuals of Greek, Italian and Middle Eastern descent. The common thread is the Mediterranean region, where there was an increased incidence of malaria.
