Jewish Genetic Diseases FAQ

What are Jewish genetic diseases?

Jewish genetic diseases are a group of disorders that occur with high frequency in the Jewish population. Ashkenazic Jews, those whose ancestors were from Central and Eastern Europe (i.e. Poland, Russian Federation, Germany, Lithuania, etc.), are at higher risk than the general population for several genetic diseases.

Jewish communities in Europe were small and isolated, and members tended to marry within those communities. Since it is estimated that all individuals carry a small number of gene changes (called mutations), the ones present in those small groups of European Jews became more prevalent in future generations.

What does it mean to be a “carrier” for a Jewish genetic disease?

Arctic Indigenous Peoples
People in the Arctic are anxious about contaminants, land use, climate, security and access in the form of rights to land and sea. The settlement of the indigenous peoples living in circumpolar countries is characterized by small, widely scattered communities.

The term “carrier” means that you have an altered copy of a gene in your genetic makeup. Being a carrier for a Jewish genetic disease has absolutely no impact on your health. Everyone is a carrier for something.

Two carrier parents have a 25% chance

of having a child with the disease.
