FACT: Jewish genetic diseases are devastating, debilitating and fatal.
FACT: Children rarely live to become adults.
FACT: One out of five adults are carriers of at least one Jewish genetic disease.
FACT: If both parents carry the same gene, the child has a 1 out of 4 chance
of being born with a Jewish genetic disease, and a 2 out of 4 chance of being
a “carrier.”
FACT: Jewish genetic diseases can be prevented through Jewish genetic testing.See: http://mfnklst.blogspot.com/2011/03/jewish-genetic-testing-returns-to-omaha.html
