Affected individuals exhibit severe neurological symptoms and do not survive to reproductive age. Individuals who inherit one copy of the allele (Tay-Sachs carriers) typically show no symptoms of the disorder. The frequencies of Tay-Sachs carriers in the general population of North America and in three different subpopulations are presented in the table. For general population the frequency is 0.004. For subpopulation 1 the frequency is 0.037. For subpopulation 2 the frequency is 0.035. For subpopulation 3 the frequency is 0.020.
