What is Genetic Engineering?

Gene Therapy

Gene Therapy

Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:

Gene Conversion

Gene Conversion

Other than maintaining genome stability via DNA repair, homologous recombination plays an important role in diversifying the genome. In fact, the recombination of sequences forms the molecular basis of genomic evolution. Random and non-random permutations of genomic sequences create a library of new amalgamated sequences. These newly formed genomes can determine the fitness and survival of cells. In bacteria, homologous and non-homologous types of recombination lead to the evolution of new...

Area of Science:

Plastic Surgery
Otolaryngology
Sleep Medicine

Background:

Genioplasty is a well-established facial surgery technique.
Increasing diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has led to genioplasty's use in airway reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a synopsis of current techniques in genioplasty.
To cover patient evaluation and surgical methods for both aesthetic and functional chin surgery.

Main Methods:

Review of current literature on genioplasty.
Discussion of patient assessment for aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Synopsis of surgical techniques for chin augmentation and airway reconstruction.

Main Results:

Genioplasty serves dual roles in aesthetic facial surgery and OSA treatment.
Current techniques focus on optimizing both cosmetic results and airway patency.

Conclusions:

Genioplasty is a valuable procedure for both facial aesthetics and functional airway improvement.
A thorough understanding of patient evaluation and surgical techniques is crucial for successful outcomes.
