16th International Conference on Human Genomics and Genomic Medicine

Human gene therapy aims to change a gene's expression or the biological characteristics of living cells for therapeutic purposes. Gene therapy is a method for treating or curing disease by changing a person's DNA. Gene treatments can function in a variety of ways: Swapping out a disease-causing gene for a healthy copy Inactivating a disease-causing gene that is not functioning properly The process of adding a new or altered gene to the organism in order to treat a condition Products utilizing gene therapy are being investigated for the treatment of diseases like cancer, genetic disorders, and infectious diseases.  There are a variety of types of gene therapy products, including: Plasmid DNA: The genetic engineering of circular DNA molecules can deliver therapeutic genes to human cells. Viral vectors: Some gene therapy products are generated from viruses because they naturally possess the capacity to introduce genetic material into cells. Viruses that have been altered to ma...

The field of genomic medicine investigates how our genes (DNA) affect our health. The field of genomics looks at the use of a person's biological data to enhance clinical care and health outcomes, such as through accurate diagnosis and individualized therapy. Genomic research refers to the examination of a person's entire genetic make-up, whereas genetic research focuses on certain genes or collections of DNA "letters" along the strand. It focuses on how they interact and respond to one another and is linked to diseases with a wider range of triggers, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and asthma. Diagnosis — for example, when no other method can identify the root cause of a variety of symptoms. Prenatal tests that take place during pregnancy — either to screen (just in case the infant has a problem) or in cases when there is a family history. It supports the parents' decision-making and future planning. Prospective parents can learn if they are carriers ...

Cancer is a collection of illnesses spurred on by DNA alterations that alter cell function and lead to unregulated development and malignancy. These anomalies can include DNA mutations, rearrangements, deletions, amplifications, and the addition or removal of chemical markers, among other variations. Cells may produce aberrant quantities or misshaped proteins that do not function normally as a result of these alterations. Multiple genetic abnormalities frequently interact to generate cancer. Genetic changes can be inherited from one's parents, brought on by the environment, or arise naturally during processes like cell division. Acquired or somatic alterations are what occur over a person's lifetime and are responsible for 90–95% of all cancer cases. Importance of Cancer Genomics in Precision Cancer Medicine: The significance of cancer the use of genomics in targeted cancer treatment Precision medicine, which adapts treatment plans to the tumours of individual patients, i...
