Research to Advance Understanding, Inform Treatment, and Improve Quality of Life

The National Tay-Sachs & Allied Diseases Association (NTSAD) is dedicated to finding effective treatments and – ultimately – a cure for Tay-Sachs, Canavan, GM1, and Sandhoff diseases.

Additionally, we support individuals and families to interpret scientific literature and take part in clinical trials and other vital research initiatives.
