Three main approaches have been used to prevent or reduce the incidence of Tay – Sachs:

Three general classes of theories have been proposed to explain the high frequency of Tay – Sachs carriers in the Ashkenazi Jewish population:

Since carrier testing for Tay – Sachs began in 1971, millions of Ashkenazi Jews have been screened as carriers.

Enzyme replacement therapy techniques have been investigated for lysosomal storage disorders, and could potentially be used to treat Tay – Sachs as well.

Perth's Pictish name, and some archaeological evidence, indicate that there must have been a settlement here from earlier times, probably at a point where a river crossing or crossings coincided with a slightly raised natural mound on the west bank of the Tay ( which at Perth flows north-south ), thus giving some protection for settlement from the frequent flooding.
