Gene therapy is a new therapeutic approach in which genes are used to treat or prevent diseases. It is a comprehensive term which encompasses a large variety of therapy products including viral and bacterial vectors, plasmid DNA, human geneediting technology, and patient-specific cellular gene therapy.
These modifications regulate geneexpression without changing the sequence or structure of DNA. The CRISPR geneediting system consists of the Cas9 enzyme, which serves as molecular scissors to cleave double-stranded DNA, and a guide RNA template targeted to a specific genomic sequence, which allows for precise editing.
Cas9 is the protein used in the geneediting process called CRISPR. Cas9 binds and uses RNA as an address-tag. The system allows scientists, by synthesizing a specific “address-tag” RNA, to bring Cas9 to a precise location in genome and therefore cut and splice genes at specific sites. .”
those that modify the expression of an individual’s genes or repair abnormal genes) has entered clinical practice, including 11 RNA therapeutics, 2 in vivo gene therapies, and 2 gene-modified cell therapies. greater safety, transient and reversible effect on geneexpression).

A female’s second X chromosome is typically silenced (so that females don’t get an overdose of X chromosome genes) through X-linked inactivation, a process where the chromosome is coated with an outer layer of non-coding RNA. One of these doubly active genes is KDM6A. KDM6A Variant.
From rare disease drug approvals to treatments involving immunotherapies and gene therapies and awarding of a Nobel Prize to the inventors of the gene-editing tool CRISPR, 2020 was a year of great activity and productivity despite the backdrop of the pandemic. CRISPR GeneEditing Inventors Win Nobel Prize.
