Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

To learn more about the function of a gene, researchers can observe what happens when the gene is inactivated or “knocked out,” by creating genetically engineered knockout animals. Knockout mice have been particularly useful as models for human diseases such as cancer, Parkinson’s disease, and diabetes.

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

33.2K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

7.4K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Neonatologists use genetic information for diagnosis, prognosis, and care goals, but rarely for direct treatment. Understanding these uses can reduce bias in the neonatal intensive care unit.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Genetics
  • Neonatology
  • Clinical Decision Making

Background:

  • Genetic information is increasingly available for newborns.
  • Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are complex environments for clinical decision-making.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and describe how neonatologists integrate genetic information into their clinical practice.
  • To understand the specific applications and implications of genetic data in neonatal care.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized chart-stimulated recall interviews with neonatologists.
  • Conducted semi-structured interviews focusing on the use of genetic information in patient cases.

Main Results:

  • Identified six key uses: diagnosis, categorization as "genetic," prognosis, treatment influence, goals of care, and accountability.
  • Genetic information aids in understanding unusual cases and predicting patient outcomes.
  • Prognostication influences care goals and technology decisions, though direct treatment impact is minimal; concerns about determinism and ableism were noted.

Conclusions:

  • Current frameworks for evaluating genetic information in the NICU should align with actual clinical usage patterns.
  • A deeper understanding of neonatologists' integration of genetic data can help maximize benefits and minimize potential biases.
