Wilson disease is a rare and progressive genetic condition in which the body’s process for removing excess copper is broken, allowing it to build to toxic levels and damage the liver, brain and other vital organs. Now, the data has been revealed – and according to investigators could transform treatment.

The vast majority of rare diseases have a genetic cause, with well-known examples including cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease, Huntingdon’s, and various muscular atrophies and dystrophies. This often puts patients in difficult situations where they are passed between doctors until a correct diagnosis is reached.

‘Cutting edge’ is, for once, a truly apt description when it comes to gene editing – both because the field is pushing medicine into areas we might never have dreamed possible, and because these technologies involve literally cutting DNA at a specific point in the genome. Gene therapy can ultimately only take you into the liver,” he explains.

In other cases, rare CNS conditions may be passed on from one generation to the next without knowledge or understanding that the reason for suffering or death among previous generations was genetic in basis and therefore identifiable, and perhaps even treatable. Doctors are often unfamiliar with these conditions.

Another military man in the drugs business was Edward Robinson Squibb, who as a naval doctor during the Mexican-American war of 1846–1848 threw the drugs he was supplied with overboard due to their low quality. This knowledge of genetics and the underlying cause of many diseases, including cancer, has resulted in powerful new drugs.
