Major Treatments (directed @ clinical phenotype)

A
  • Supportive: Decrease symptoms
  • Product def : Give product exogenously
  • Substrate def : Give substrate exogenously
  • Gene Therapy: Still too primitive to be viable
  • Treat clinical phenotype - Limit UV exposure in albinism, Pharm intervention (beta blockers - marfan syndrome), surgical procedure (cong. heart malformations)
  • Metab interventions - Avoidance (certain triggers of symptoms), G6PD def antimalarial drugs

Q

Treatment of genetic diseases (Single gene disorder)

A
  • Medelian disorders
  • Replace the defective protein, improve the function, minimize the consequence of the def.
  • Treatment is Deficient
  1. Unknown causing genes = Pathogenesis not understood (50% of genetic diseases UNKNOWN mutant locus)
  2. Pre-diagnostic fetal damage = Some mutations affect early development, leads to irreversible changes b4 diagnosis
  3. Severe Phenotypes LESS likely to respond to interventions = lead to absence of protein–>Severe phenotype

Treatment of single gene disorder (Product replacement)

A
  • Replace metabolite NOT made endogenously

Q

Mol Treatment of disease (level of protein)

A
  • Enhancement of mutant protein w/small mol therapy
