If Jews aren’t an ethnic group why do some genetic diseases occur in them that rarely occur in any other group?
You do realize that Tay Sachs, the primary example I can think of, occurs mostly in Jews of Eastern European descent, Ashkenazim, but not Jews of Sephardi or Mizrahi ethnicities. Also, Tay Sachs occurs in similar rates among Non-Jewish Cajun and some French Canadian communities.

What do you think about the federally funded genetic resource consortium?

Started in the 1960s
“Newborn babies in the United States are routinely screened for a panel of genetic diseases. Since the testing is mandated by the government”
“samples are kept so that tests can be repeated, if necessary, and in case the DNA is ever need to help parents identify a missing or deceased child. The samples are also used for medical research”.
“Genetic testing for newborns started in the 1960s with testing for diseases and conditions that, if undetected, could kill a child or cause severe problems, such as mental retardation. Since then, the screening has helped save countless newborns.”
“the DNA samples are stored in state labs for anywhere from three months to indefinitely, depending on the state”
“the screening has helped save countless newborns.”
Sounds like a great program.
