    All test can be wrong.  If you question the diagnosis ask to have the test run again at a different lab.

       Tay-Sach's is a heriditary neurological disorder, and one tell-tale sign is a cherry-red spot on the retina of the eye.  Has this child been determined to have that anamoly? This is a definitive diagnostic sign of Tay-Sachs. If you'te relying on lab tests, a specimen can easily be mislabeled at the testing facility, so the results reported may not be the correct results for the patient in question. Also, TaySach's shows up arpund 6 months of age, and is usually fatal by the time the child is 4 years old.  If this child is over 4, then he probably doesn't have Tay-Sach's.

    We have they said no there are not wrong went to other state medical records followed and they also said no.  this child is a human being what can i do i feel like its a no win situation.

    thank you
