Tay-Sachs Test
What Affects the Test
If you had a recent Reference blood transfusion Opens New Window, you may not be able to have the test, or the test results may not be helpful. If you have a blood transfusion from a blood donor who has normal levels of hexosaminidase A, your level may temporarily be higher than usual.
