Interesting development in Chinese legislation around gene editing. Obviously aimed at He Jiankui debacle but wonder how it will affect the use in adults, where it's claimed around 100 people have been "treated". @NatureNews https://t.co/a6hvse0ac3
#Genomics champion Dr. Bartha Knoppers on the implications of this dynamic science: "The fact that you can now edit genes more precisely than ever before raises some classical issues that have been coming up since […] the first 'test tube baby'" https://t.co/FoBB38COnz #GE3LS
#PTEN Hamartoma Tumor Syndrome Awareness Month:
'One Gene: Two Distinct Disease Patterns: Clinically, PHTS patients have variable presentations, including distinct subsets of patients with a predisposition to cancer or to ASD.'
