Can genetic decoding achieve personalized medicine?

The "2016 China Rare Diseases Research Report" released recently pointed out that rare diseases are one of the biggest challenges faced by human medicine. About 7,000 rare diseases are known, 80% of which are genetically deficient diseases, but diseases that can be effectively treated by drugs are not enough. 5%, patients with rare diseases take an average of 5-8 years to be diagnosed.

It is understood that gene decoding technology can analyze the genetic information to analyze the risks that people will have at birth, so as to avoid the turbulence of the reefs during the growth process. So, what does ill have to do with genes?

Many diseases are related to genes

Dr. Huang Jiaxue, the chief scientist of Jiaxue Technology Medical Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. and former vice president of the International Cell Therapy Association, said that many rare diseases are hidden in genetic information, and the relationship between illness and genes is greater. For example, a couple in a province in the northeast, one meter eighty-five, and one meter seventy-three. But their daughter is seven years old, but less than one meter. Even more worrying is that the body is short and fat. After identification of the causative gene, it was found that the child's growth hormone receptor lost the function of receiving developmental regulation signals. Through the analysis, not only the reasons were identified, but also the treatment methods were found. More importantly, this family has measures to prevent this rare disease from happening again.

Rare diseases and many common diseases are related to genes. For example, an immune-related gene is not strong enough, and children are prone to immune-related diseases, but the symptoms of these diseases may be symptoms of some common diseases. If you follow the general diagnosis method, it is easy to find the cause. I can't even find the reason.

Huang Jiaxue said that there are some major diseases like drug-induced deafness, congenital heart disease and other diseases that are very dangerous but not easy to detect. The scary thing about this disease is that if there is no chance to turn back, it will be crippled. And the general physical examination is not easy to detect, and it is easy to be triggered.

If the disease can be known before the disease can occur, prevention can prevent tragedy. A variety of tools, such as the medical system, fitness system, nutrition system, behavioral intervention system, and financial system, provide people with comprehensive interventions to make systematic solutions for gene decoding possible.

Achieve precise personalized medicine

In life, the treatment of rare diseases is indeed a difficult problem. Accurate and personalized treatment is a very important part.

There was once a child suffering from acne acne, which was very serious. I haven't found the real cause after seeking medical advice for a long time. After the child's parents decoded the gene, it was found that the gene for the child's immunity was weak, and the complex operation of the body showed acne acne. After finding the reason, it was specifically supplemented in this respect, and the method of using Chinese medicine conditioning did not take long to heal.

Huang Jiaxue said that the design concept of gene decoding is to analyze and guide each individual's own genes. People who seem to suffer from the same disease may have different causes. Accuracy, so-called personalization, is precise to the individual, precise to a certain gene, and even precise to a person's specific genetic locus for a specific period of time. Only the precision of achieving the three-dimensional coordinates of genes and diseases in time, space and human tissue is truly accurate.

"High-capacity storage technology, genetic information model computing technology, gene sequence change and human characterization database technology, and lossless gene correction technology as the core technology of gene decoding have gradually matured and begun to explore large-scale applications, people can start to interpret and design And transforming human's own genetic code." Huang Jiaxue said that the collection of major disease genes such as gene decoding, tumor risk gene decoding, drug-directed gene decoding, and disease-causing identification gene decoding can be analyzed in multiple directions and multiple angles. The health and impact of the environment and the genetic and social living environment, and effective intervention.

Be alert to the disclosure of genetic information

With the development of gene decoding technology, more and more genetic information will be interpreted. For individuals, the interpretation of their own information is a double-edged sword. It not only allows people to understand themselves more, but also allows them to personalize their own genes for education and development. It also enables them to know the risks and causes of various diseases, and to conduct themselves according to the genetic information and environment. Adjust evasion and personalized special effects treatment.

At the same time, the use of gene decoding also brings a series of ethical issues such as informed consent, privacy protection, autonomy, and impartiality.

Huang Jiaxue said that the disclosure of genetic information may lead to a series of social problems related to genetic discrimination, such as employment, mate selection, promotion, promotion, etc. Even unscrupulous people may use personal genetic information to harm people; others may pass Gene decoding and editing techniques modify the genes of future generations to trigger and impact the inherent ethical issues of maintaining social stability.

Miss Li of Beijing, 27 years old this year. Eight years ago, her brother died of brain bleeding after a basketball game because he carried the hemophilia gene. Miss Li’s boyfriend in love is slow to be engaged with Ms. Li after she learns that Ms. Li may carry the disease-causing gene and make the male offspring of the married person have a 50% chance of dying. It was not until the two sides went to the professional institutions to consult and get a solution, then they happily went to the palace of marriage.

Huang Jiaxue said that in order to avoid these problems, formal gene decoding organizations emphasize that genetic decoding information belongs to individuals, and no unit, group or individual may illegally acquire and possess gene decoding results in any form. At the same time, reminding the subject of genetic privacy disclosure may be the risk of the subject himself. Through full and scientific communication, customers can basically understand the risks that a rigorous and accurate genetic decoding result can bring to their personal lives, and the basic methods that should be taken to protect the privacy of individuals.
