In 2018, the UK’s department of health announced an NHS Genomic Medicine Service, which allows patients with rare diseases to have their entire genetic code read in the hope of providing a much-needed diagnosis. It can also permit targeted screening of known disease complications and access to drug studies.

DS: What role does genetics play in autophagy? Could therapies like these treat rare genetic conditions? PH : Genetics plays an enormous role. There are many mutations in specific genes that have been shown to disrupt the autophagy process and lead to disease. Could it be possible to prevent genetic diseases?

DMD and FA are rare, degenerative, genetic diseases that affect movement and eventually lead to paralysis. This is particularly important for rare diseases where it can be hard to identify suitable patients. In the FA study, teams worked with patients to identify key movement patterns and predict genetic markers of disease.

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.
