Awareness of rare diseases is growing, and with a better understanding of the pathophysiology of many rare diseases, innovative treatment options are emerging, like gene therapies that can treat the root cause of rare genetic diseases and potentially provide long-term symptom relief, or even a definitive cure.

PrecisionLife and the University of Oxford have signed a data access agreement to license the Oxford Endometriosis Gene (OXEGENE) dataset to develop new personalised treatments for endometriosis patients. Endometriosis affects 10% of women globally, but on average it takes over seven years for patients to receive a diagnosis.

The first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome was published 1 April 2022 in a special issue of the journal Science 1. While The Human Genome Project mapped about 92% of the human genome two decades ago, sequencing the last 8% of the genome proved highly challenging.

The CRISPR-Cas9 system, awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020 for its applications for gene editing, was initially encountered in the bacterial immune system. In an effort to defend themselves against viral infection, bacterial cells capture and copy DNA fragments of bacteriophages into their genome.

According to a study, around 20,000 genes are present in the human body, all of which interact with the nutrients in the food, either directly or indirectly. Nutrigenomics is the science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health.
