The first step towards unraveling the mysteries behind genetic disorders is to find the problem genes. Many defective genes have been identified and work is ongoing to discover feasible methods for "cures". While investigations of genetic treatments continue, people are in a position to begin using the current facts for their benefit.

There are nearly 4,000 genetic diseases known that afflict the world’s population. However, in almost every ethnic, racial, or demographic group, certain genetic diseases occur at higher frequencies among their members than in the general population. Such is the case for the Jewish people.

The genetic diseases described on Mazornet's Jewish Diseases are disorders which occur more frequently in individuals of Jewish ancestry. Most diseases are severely incapacitating and some are tragically debilitating, leading to death in infancy or early childhood. Tay-Sachs may be the most notorious of the lot, but other diseases, just as prevalent and just as devastating, shatter the lives of Jewish families.

Children and adults with a rare genetic disease have multiple needs to address: health concerns, primarily, but others as well. As a service to the global Jewish community, http://Mazornet.com is committed to gathering and compiling data about Jewish genetic disorders. More importantly, http://Mazornet.com’s mission is to serve as the ultimate information resource by surfacing areas of assistance online and in the real world. It is not http://Mazornet.com’s intent to choose resources, but rather to make support information and resources of any kind available to the people and to the families afflicted by these diseases. There is hope, and there is help.

Here's a list of diseases known to afflict some Americans referred to as Melungeons.

Melungeons.

Never heard of them before.

Strangely, my family, which is Celtic/German with some Cherokee, has no genetic diseases at all. Must be because we're all mutts. No purebreds at all, although I'm not sure what a "purebred" human might be.

Appalachia

Elvis may have been part Melungeon.

http://www.melungeon.org/

the Melungeons are traditionally identified by family names. A few of the surnames are associated with the Melungeons include Collins, Gibson, Goins, Mullins, and Bowlin. The Melungeons have historically been associated with the region along the Virginia-Tennessee border east of Cumberland Gap, with Newman’s Ridge in Hancock County, Tennessee, receiving most of the attention from journalists.

Some of these legends and theories have suggested descent from Spanish or Portuguese explorers, from the “Lost Colonists” of Roanoke Island, from shipwrecked sailors or pirates of various nationalities, from one of the Lost Tribes of Israel, or from ancient Phoenicians or Carthaginians. More recent theories have proposed that the Melungeons descended from Mediterranean or Middle Eastern ancestors.

I've read that the Melungeons were more than likely abandoned Turkish salior slaves from Drakes aramada in the late 1500's who intermarried with indians. The term "Mulengeon" itself is very similiar to a Turkish word meaning "cursed soul" or Moslem forced convert to Christianity- usaully as a result of slavery.

I believe that is the latest theory, previously Portuguese.

Yep- the previous theory was that they were shipwrecked Portugeese fisherman who for decades had known about North America before Columbus. But if so- they would have been in New England and Nova Scotia- because the Portugeese fishermen who ventured out that far- all went to the rich Grand Banks fishing grounds. They wouldn't have been ship wrecked that far south. And DNA testing has found a Turkish match.

Muslims ruled Spain and Portugal for centuries, so it still works. The DNA from these countries probably looks a lot like ME.

Spain and Portugal were conquered by Moors- Berbers - a mixture of North Africans and Arabs. They weren't Turks.
