Tay-Sachs Disease is a rare recessive disorder. A male that is a carrier for Tays-Sachs marries a woman that does not have a history of Tay-Sachs in her family. Is it possible for their children to have this disorder.​

Yes, it’s possible. The woman still might carry the recessive gene. The only way to know for sure would to have her go through genetic testing
