The Ashkenazi Jewish panels detect mutations associated with disorders that commonly occur in Ashkenazi Jewish (Eastern European Jewish) individuals (see below). Two panels are offered: 1) a 4-test panel, which includes the genetic tests recommended by ACOG and ACMG (for Canavan disease, cystic fibrosis, familial dysautonomia, and Tay-Sachs); and 2) an 11-test panel, which also includes tests for 7 other diseases common among Ashkenazi Jewish individuals. The panels simplify test ordering for Ashkenazi Jewish individuals who wish to know their carrier status and/or their risk of having a child with any of these disorders.

The name Ashkenazim, designating the German Jews comes from Genesis 10:2, 'The sons of Gomer, Ashkenaz, Riphath and Togarmah'..." Ludwig Albrecht, In Die Geschichte des Volkes Israel (The History of the People of Israel) 1926 A thousand years before the establishment of the Zionist State of Israel, there also existed a nominally Jewish kingdom on the eastern fringes of Europe. This was the Kingdom of the Khazars astride the Don and Volga rivers.

There is only one group of people on earth that claims to be what it is not: The Ashkenazi Jews. They are a European people who have nothing in common with the original Arab Jews except for having converted to Judaism in the 8th century. Finding an Ashkenazi Jew who would accept the obvious that they could not possibly be from Palestine is like finding a needle in a haystack.
