Geneticist Dr Charles Steward has spent his career studying the human genome – but his work became much more personal when his children were diagnosed with severe neurological diseases. Charlie told pharmaphorum how his search for a genetic cause has led him to straddle the divide between scientist and patient advocate.

The group analysed 12,222 samples collected through whole genome sequencing efforts of the UK National Health Service as part of the 100,000 Genomes Project and added further data on 6,418 cancers from the International Cancer Genome Consortium and the Hartwig Medical Foundation. Both teams had the same underlying goal.

Decoding ‘junk DNA’ The Human Genome Project and subsequent studies discovered that most of our DNA (approximately 98%) does not actually code for proteins, with humans having approximately 20,000 tox 25,000 protein-coding genes. These modalities are proven to be safe and effective in the clinical setting.

However, more immeasurable characteristics such as personality, behaviour, and even intelligence are all influenced by genetics to varying degrees. All that DNA is organised into hereditary units called genes, with humans having about 25,000 genes collectively known as the genome. Each human cell has 1.8

The Human Genome Project could not have succeeded without the use of bioinformatics. Since the conclusion of the project in 2003, bioinformatics tools have been used to identify genes and elucidate their function with the aim of developing gene-based strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

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. Figure below presents an overview of nutrigenomics.

A few decades ago, gathering genetic data on the scale of the 100,000 Genomes Project would have been unthinkable – it was only in 2003 that the entire human genome was mapped. However, the scale goes far beyond 100,000 genomes and instead is looking to recruit five million adult volunteers. Aims for the project.

The development of effective new disease-modifying treatments in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders has been hindered by their inherent genetic complexity, environmental influences, and clinical variability. This is comparatively easier to accomplish in these diseases because they are relatively monogenic.

The potential to develop treatments with CRISPR gene editing is hinged on its ability to add, delete or replace elements within a target DNA sequence. Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by certain changes in the way that genes control cell function, such as how they grow and divide. Why cancer? The pipeline.
