Yeshorim Pain

-

Dor Yeshorim (Hebrew: "right generation", Ps. 112: 2), also the Committee for Prevention of Genetic Diseases, an organization offering genetic screening to members of the world Jewish diaspora. Its aim is to reduce and eliminate genetic diseases common in the Jewish population, such as Taya-Sachs disease. Dor Yeshorim headquarters is located in Brooklyn, New York, but the offices of the organization are located in Israel and many countries around the world. Dor Yeshorim announces the possibility of research in newspapers published by local Jewish communities, in orthodox Jewish schools and on its website.

Both the Ashkenazi Jews and the Sephardic Jews have an increased frequency of certain genetic diseases. Many of them, like the Tas-Sachs disease, are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that healthy people can be carriers of the mutant gene and their offspring have a 25% chance of getting the disease and a 25% chance of not having a mutation. Orthodox Jews do not recognize abortion; Although halacha allows the possibility of pre-implantation diagnosis (PGD), it is too expensive and cumbersome to be used routinely. It was therefore proposed that genetic counseling to avoid marriages of carriers would reduce morbidity in the Jewish population and lead to a reduction in the frequency of mutated alleles in the community.
