DNA Edition: ad portas of a revolution in genetic manipulation
In biological sciences, genetic therapy constitutes a “trend topic” since its beginning. Development of new technologies in bioengineering as zinc-finger nucleases (ZFN), Transcription activator-like effector nu-cleases (TALEN) and ...

Genetic analyses reveal a role for vitamin D insufficiency in HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma development [PDF]
Background: Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with the occurrence of various types of cancer, but causal relationships remain elusive. We therefore aimed to determine the relationship between genetic determinants of vitamin D serum levels and ...

Genetic therapies for neurological disorders [PDF]
AbstractIn recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that many neurological disorders are underpinned by a genetic aetiology. This has resulted in considerable efforts to develop therapeutic strategies which can treat the disease-causing mutation, either by supplying a functional copy of the mutated gene or editing the genomic sequence. In this

Genetic Basis and Therapies for Vascular Anomalies [PDF]
Vascular and lymphatic malformations represent a challenge for clinicians. The identification of inherited and somatic mutations in important signaling pathways, including the PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase)/AKT (protein kinase B)/mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), RAS (rat sarcoma)/RAF (rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma)/MEK (mitogen-activated ...
