General HealthContent
Story of claim
Despite human genome sequencing, gene therapy remains complex due to unknown functions of many genes, as discussed by Feng Zhang.
- Goal: To overcome the complexities of gene therapy.
- Proof: Functions of most genes remain unknown, complicating gene therapy even with known mutations.
- Nuances:
- Gene therapy seemed no closer a decade after sequencing.
- Most genes' functions remain unknown.
- Impact on Life: Complexity in gene therapy affects the development of effective treatments, highlighting the need for further research.
Investments
- Price: High investment in ongoing research
- Time: Decades of research and development
- Effort: High effort due to complexity of understanding gene functions.
Risks
Unknown gene functions can lead to unexpected outcomes in therapy.
Alternatives
- Continued research into gene function and therapy development
