Importance of genetic research To understand mechanisms of disease Who can participate in genetic research? Families with autosomal dominant family histories Characterize features of mutations: spectrum of symptoms, biomarkers-imaging changes, CSF profile, etc. Candidates for specific drug trials Identify etiologies of mutational variation (other genetic markers or environment) Sporadic families
Why Gene Therapy Is Important. Genes that are flawed and do not work properly can cause disease. Gene therapy is a technique for correcting defective genes responsible for disease development. Researchers may use one of several approaches for correcting faulty genes: 1  A normal gene may be inserted into a nonspecific location within the genome to replace a nonfunctional gene. This approach is most common. 2  An abnormal gene could be swapped for a normal gene through homologous recombination. The abnormal gene could be repaired through selective reverse mutation, which returns the gene to its normal function. The regulation (the degree to which a gene is turned on or off) of a particular gene could be altered.
