Book excerpt: Who are the Jews--a race, a people, a religious group? For over a century, non-Jews and Jews alike have tried to identify who they were--first applying the methods of physical anthropology and more recently of population genetics. In Legacy, Harry Ostrer, a medical geneticist and authority on the genetics of the Jewish people, explores not only the history of these efforts, but also the insights that genetics has provided about the histories of contemporary Jewish people. Much of the book is told through the lives of scientific pioneers. We meet Russian immigrant Maurice Fishberg; Australian Joseph Jacobs, the leading Jewish anthropologist in fin-de-siècle Europe; Chaim Sheba, a colorful Israeli geneticist and surgeon general of the Israeli Army; and Arthur Mourant, one of the foremost cataloguers of blood groups in the 20th century. As Ostrer describes their work and the work of others, he shows that to look over the genetics of Jewish groups, and to see the history of the Diaspora woven there, is truly a marvel. Here is what happened as the Jews migrated to new places and saw their numbers wax and wane, as they gained and lost adherents and thrived or were buffeted by famine, disease, wars, and persecution. Many of these groups--from North Africa, the Middle East, India--are little-known, and by telling their stories, Ostrer brings them to the forefront at a time when assimilation is literally changing the face of world Jewry. A fascinating blend of history, science, and biography, Legacy offers readers an entirely fresh perspective on the Jewish people and their history. It is as well a cutting-edge portrait of population genetics, a field which may soon take its place as a pillar of group identity alongside shared spirituality, shared social values, and a shared cultural legacy.

Book excerpt: Well aware of Jews having once been the victims of Nazi eugenics policies, many Jews today have an ambivalent attitude toward new genetics and are understandably wary of genetic forms of identity and intervention. At the same time, the Jewish tradition is strongly committed to medical research designed to prevent or cure diseases. Jews and Genes explores this tension against the backdrop of various important developments in genetics and bioethics--new advances in stem cell research; genetic mapping, identity, testing, and intervention; and the role of religion and ethics in shaping public policy. Jews and Genes brings together leaders in their fields, from all walks of Judaism, to explore these most timely and intriguing topics--the intricacies of the genetic code and the wonders of life, along with cutting-edge science and the ethical issues it raises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an authoritative, up-to-date account of the impact of molecular genetics on our understanding of genetic diseases prevalent among Jews. The extent of genetic variability among different Jewish communities is discussed in detail. After an introductory chapter on major demographic trends of world Jewry, the first part examines ethnohistorical relationships between different Jewish groups in light of nuclear and mictochondrial DNA polymorphisms. The next and largest section of the book reviews the most recent research on some 20 Mendelian disorders (among Ashkenz, Sephardi and Oriental Jews) and the implications of the astonishing molecular heterogeneity revealed in some of them. Advances in genetic aspects of common multifactorial diseases are covered in concluding chapters

This book was released on with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Need to know about the 5 Most Common Ashkenazi Genetic Diseases. A Concise Review. Ashkenazi Jewish genetic diseases are a group of quaint disorders that occur more often in people of Eastern European (Ashkenazi) Jewish heritage than in the general population. Even though most of these diseases are severe and can cause early death, some can be treated to reduce symptoms and prolong life. Some of these diseases can be found during pregnancy through: · Chorionic villus sampling (CVS) or · Amniocentesis. This testing is done usually if one or both parents are carriers of a genetic disease. Diseases in this group include the followings but it is preferred to discus 5 most common Disorders below concisely: · Bloom syndrome. · Canavan disease · Cystic fibrosis.* · Familial dysautonomia (FD).* · Fanconi anemia. · Spinal Muscular Atroph.* · Gaucher disease.* · Mucolipidosis IV. · Niemann-Pick disease (type A). · Tay-Sachs disease.* · Torsion dystonia. About 1 out of 4 people of Ashkenazi Jewish heritage is a carrier of one of these genetic conditions. Thus, an attempt has been made in this E-Booklet to present the following, only 5 most common Disorders concisely for enthusiastic medicos along with relevant Illustrations for better understanding. 1. Gaucher Disease* 2. Cystic Fibrosis* 3. Tay-Sachs Disease* 4. Familial Dysautonomia* 5. Spinal Muscular Atrophy* …Dr. H. K. Saboowala. M.B.(Bom) .M.R.S.H. (London)
