The term “Ashkenazi” refers to someone whose Jewish ancestors originally came from central or eastern Europe (e.g. Russia, Poland, Germany, Hungary, Lithuania, etc). Jewish people whose ancestors are from the Mediterranean or Middle Eastern regions are known as “Sephardic.” Sephardic Jews are at risk for different hereditary conditions than Ashkenazi Jews.
