1
RNAi, or RNA interference, prevents a defective gene from making disease-causing proteins.
2
TUSC2- defective gene expression is detected in the majority of lung cancers and is associated with worse overall survival.
3
It is caused by a defective gene that allows secretions to block passageways in the lungs and pancreas.
4
Methods: Genetic linkage analysis, exome sequencing, and functional genomics were carried out to identify and characterize the defective gene.
5
Many approaches based on gene therapy aim to repair the defective gene or to insert genes with compensatory function.
6
Mutation and linkage analyses have demonstrated the disease to be heterogeneous, with rBAT being the defective gene in type I cystinuria.
7
The therapy uses a virus to provide a normal copy of the SMN1 gene to babies born with a defective gene.
8
That is, unless you know that you carry a defective gene that can produce a disease, and you choose to reproduce anyway.
9
Vogelstein developed the method by fusing a specially developed strain of mouse cells with human cells that possibly contained a defective gene.
10
LRRK2 was previously identified as a defective gene in Parkinson's disease, and it is also located in a risk region for Crohn's disease.
11
In December, the field got its very first FDA approval with Luxturna, which corrects a defective gene in a rare, inherited retinal disease.
12
Through a simple blood test, medical science can now with absolute certainty tell any adult in this group whether they carry the defective gene.
13
The boys who received the treatment suffered from the early form of ALD, in which the defective gene is found only on the X chromosome.
14
At the outset, people with sickle cell trait were 57 percent more likely overall to have chronic kidney disease than people without a defective gene.
15
A defective gene and its protein product cause the body to produce unusually thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs and leads to life-threatening infections.
16
Scientists have used gene therapy to halt the progression of adrenoleukodystrophy, a fatal neurodegenerative disease caused by a single defective gene, in two seven-year-old boys.
