The Jewish Genetic Disease Consortium (JGDC) is a leading organization based in New York, NY, dedicated to raising awareness and providing resources on genetic diseases prevalent in the Jewish community. They offer comprehensive carrier screening programs and genetic counseling services to individuals and couples planning to have children, helping them make informed decisions for a healthy family.
With a focus on genetic heritage and ethnicity, the JGDC emphasizes the importance of carrier screening for everyone, as there are now tests available for a wide range of diseases beyond Tay-Sachs. Their programs cater to various groups, including medical professionals, rabbis, and the community at large, offering educational resources and support to ensure the well-being of individuals and families affected by genetic diseases.
