Telomeres degrade and shorten with age and can become excessively damaged in certain genetic diseases, as well as from lifestyle factors such as smoking, poor diet, and chronic stress. Shortening of telomeres is associated with the symptoms of aging, heart disease, DNA damage and uncontrolled cell replication, which can lead to cancer.

In rare disease trials, it’s not always feasible to choose clinically-relevant endpoints to measure the efficacy of a new therapeutic. Dietary changes, including restriction of salt and animal protein, are also recommended. Treatment: The standard of care for treating patients with DMD involves the use of corticosteroids.

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.

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.

All patients deserve a gene therapy designed to address the genetic root cause of their disease with a single dose. Zolgensma was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in May 2019 and represents the first approved therapeutic in the company’s proprietary platform to treat rare, monogenic diseases using gene therapy.
