Abstract

Numerous intricate and untreatable ailments are brought on by genetic diseases. Each person's unique DNA sequence is encoded, and the mitochondrial, nuclear, and microbial metagenomes all contain a wealth of disease-causing genes. The use of next-generation DNA sequencing has brought these disorders' diagnoses together. Nonetheless, one of the key objectives is still to convert particular genetic diagnosis into tailored genetic treatments. Genetic therapies can be divided into three main categories thus far: replacing the damaged genetic compartments in large quantities with a new exogenous genome; adding extra genetic material to compensate for genetic errors without targeting it; and, most recently, using gene editing to directly correct the alterations that are causing the problems. The development of new generations of curative genetic medicines will be accelerated by the use of generalized techniques for diagnosis, treatment, and reagent administration into each genetic compartment.
