The most common marketed drugs in this space aim to address the hyperammonaemia caused by the defective genes in this disorder. Ultragenyx uses adeno-associated virus 8 (AAV8) gene therapy to induce stable OTC gene expression. This treatment activates the OTC gene so that ammonia can be removed from the blood.

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells through epigenetic editing without altering the genetic sequence itself. It’s a great tool for controlling gene expression.”.

Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Whitehead Institute have developed a novel CRISPR-based tool called “CRISPRoff” that can switch off genes in human cells without editing the genetic sequence itself. These modifications regulate gene expression without altering the sequence or structure of DNA.

Rare diseases are largely treated using gene therapies which employ modified viruses to bring the therapy to the disease cells. We believe it can now do the same for rare diseases.” “We We have shown that mRNA holds an unprecedented therapeutic potential for incurable genetic diseases, in particular liver conditions.
