Could epigenome editing prevent developmental disorders?

Source:https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/327296.php Using a new type of genetic engineering tool called epigenome editing in mice, scientists have restored irregularities in the developing brain that arise from a gene mutation. New research in mice suggests that gene editing could prevent brain developmental disorders.Epigenome editing is a way of altering the expression, or reading, of genes without altering their underlying DNA code. A team from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD, led the Nature Communications study that focuses on the protein C11orf46. One of the study’s corresponding authors is Dr. Atsushi Kamiya, who is an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In humans, mutations in the section of DNA that contains the C11orf46 gene can lead to WAGR syndrome, a genetic condition that can cause intellectual disability and impair many systems of the body. The researchers found that C11orf46 directs the development of the corpus ...

CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing can be used to eliminate entire chromosomes — a Q&A

As is well known, CRISPR/Cas9 is an effective tool for gene editing, and this method has been widely used for editing genes or genomic regions by targeting specific single-guide RNA (sgRNAs). We initially planned to use the CRISPR/Cas9 system to study the biological functions of Y chromosome genes.

Gene prompts cells to store fat, fueling obesity

Obesity is often attributed to a simple equation: People are eating too much and exercising too little. But evidence is growing that at least some of the weight gain that plagues modern humans is predetermined.
