Baby liver disease treatment: The doctors once again showed that when science and compassion goes together, miracles can also become a reality. In America, a 9 -month -old innocent child, who was struggling with a very rare and deadly liver disease, has now become an example of a new hope. It is not treated with any common medicine or surgery, but with a CRISPR based gene-editing technology and that too according to its genetic mutation in a personalized manner. This is the first time a person has been treated in this way.

What is the whole matter?

Scientists of the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Pen Medicine together have successfully treated a 9 -month -old child named KG Maldoon. This child was suffering from carbamoyal phosphate synthetic deficiency and liver problem, in which the body is unable to properly process the toxins formed after protein metabolism. Due to this disease, the newborn could have serious health problems. But this time science has opened a new path.

How did CRISPR treatment be treated?

CRISPR (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic reepeats) is a gene-editing technique, which can be replaced with great accurate DNA.

A technique called base editing was used in the treatment of KG, in which a “letter” of DNA was replaced, he also cut the Strand without DNA.

This technique is especially useful for “One-off” genetic mutations, which are extremely rare and which are not already treated.

The most important thing is that the treatment has been completed in just six months.

What is the importance of this achievement?

For the first time a person friendly gene editing therapy has been used clinicly.

With this, other rare diseases can also be treated in this way.

This therapy can reduce the requirement of long -lasting drugs or complex transplant processes.

With this, scientists around the world will get a blueprint, so that they will be able to develop treatment for such diseases.

KG’s story is not limited to saving the life of a child, it is the beginning of the new era of science. Where the treatment of diseases will not be made ‘equal for all’, but according to the needs of a particular person. CRISPR technology has proved that if technology is used properly, impossible may also be possible.

Gene editing: Technology is developing very fast. Now scientists are working on such technology so that DNA can also be changed. With the help of technology called CRISPR-CAS9, you can now change the genes of plants, animals and even humans. Through this technique, it may be possible to treat serious diseases, eliminate food allergies and increase food production.

What is CRISPR-CAS9 technology

According to the information, a scientist is working on a disease called Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. It is a serious disease that weakens the muscles and reduces the age of the person. Scientists are using crispr on mice and dogs and so far the results are proving to be quite fine. It is expected that in future this technology can open the way for the treatment of this disease in humans.

But while this ability of gene editing seems miraculous on the one hand, on the other hand it also includes many risks. Through CRISPR, we can make changes in such genes that move forward from generation to generation. That is, once changes are made, it becomes permanent and also affects the coming children.

Dangerous or beneficial

Explain that if technology is used correctly, it will prove to be very beneficial. But if it is misused, it can prove to be very dangerous for human genes. For this reason, in many countries, especially most parts of Europe, germline editing (changing genes that are transferred to generations) have been banned, as there is still no clarity among scientists about its results.

However, this technology is still being legally implemented in countries like China and America and research is being done continuously. Jean Editing is one of the biggest scientific successes in human history. This can win on diseases, but at the same time it can also affect the future of mankind.
