Dramatic progress made in detecting Ashkenazi diseases
The Jerusalem Post

Učinjen je "dramatični" napredak je  u detekciji   bolesti  u Aškenaza
                            Skraćeni  prijevod:

....Today, tests are available for 19 chronic conditions that are known as Jewish genetic diseases, including familial dysautonomia. Testing capabilities have risen dramatically : Just one year ago, individuals could be tested for 16 conditions ; in 2009, the number was 11. Among those conditions, in addition to FD and Tay-Sachs, are cystic fibrosis, Gaucher disease, Canavan disease and Niemann-Pick disease....

Danas je omogućeno testiranje 19 kroničnih stanja koja su poznata kao "Židovske genetske bolesti", uključujući familijarnu dysatonomiju. Mogućnosti testiranja su vrlo povećane-samo godinu dana ranije bilo je moguće testirati 16 stanja, a 2009  njih 11. Tu su  još Tay -Sachs, cistična fibroza, Gaucherova bolest, Canavanova  bolest i Neumann-Pickova  bolest.

Organizations dealing with Jewish genetic diseases are intensifying their efforts to educate Ashkenazim of childbearing age about the need to be screened for all 19 conditions with a single blood test, and to update tests that have already been conducted. The experts view this as a serious communal health issue, with one in five Ashkenazim estimated to be a carrier of at least one of the 11 diseases that could be tested for in 2009.

Organizacije koje se bave židovskim genetskim bolestima su pojačale svoje napore da educiraju Aškenaze u fertilnoj dobi  ( u godinama kada mogu imati djecu) da je potreban  pregled na svih 19 bolesti, pomoću jednog krvnog testa, te da upotpune testove koje su već načinili.

Stručnjacvi smatraju da je to važno pitanje i  zdravlja u zajednici  jer  se pretpostavlja da je svaki peti Aškenaz je nosilac barem jedne od 11  bolesti,  koje su mogle biti testirane u 2009.godini....

..Experts in Jewish genetic diseases are seeking to promote awareness of the potential problems, because screening before a pregnancy can offer options for preventing or dramatically reducing the chance of a child being born with a disease.

Eksperti za židovske genetske bolesti nastoje unaprijediti svijest o potencijalnim problemima, jer pregled prije trudnoće može ponuditi prevemciju ili znatno smanjiti mogućnost da će se dijete roditi sa takvom bolešću. ..
