In Development: Jews of Sephardic and Mizrahi Heritage
The JGDC is currently in the process of revising our educational materials, including this website, to cover genetic diseases of concern to persons of Sephardic (Mediterranean) and Mizrahi (Persian and Middle Eastern) Jewish heritage. If you are of Sephardic or Mizrahi heritage and are pregnant or considering starting a family in the near future, you should seek advice regarding appropriate genetic screening from your doctor, a genetic counselor, or a hospital-based genetics program.
