The challenge is that digital therapeutics need to have drug-like efficacy in order to gain market acceptance, but the embarrassment is that prescription digital therapeutics are not drugs per se, but more about using technical ...
The analysis of pathogenic genetic variations has always been an important challenge in the field of human genetics. Single nucleotide mutations in genes related to Mendelian genetic diseases should be the easiest type of mutation to study in human genetics. However, for many disease genes, the clinical importance of at least half of single nucleotide mutations has not been determined, seriously affecting the diagnostic efficiency of genetic diseases, especially rare genetic diseases. Deep mutational screening (DMS) refers to a research method that generates large-scale gene variations through saturation mutagenesis and then studies genetic variations in cell lines through high-throughput methods. This method can greatly accelerate the diagnosis of genetic diseases and deepen our understanding of the clinical importance of single nucleotide mutations. However, the cost and complexity of current deep mutation screening methods hinder their widespread application in clinical research. On September 25, 2024, Monkol Lek’s team from Yale ...
