Advancements in Genetic Testing


Genetic testing identifies changes in the chromosome structure or DNA sequence. It is also used to identify changes in genes and proteins, and it also plays a great role in diagnosing genetic disorders and the healthcare industry.

In the 1950s, the first genetic prenatal screens were developed as early advancements with the discovery of additional copies of chromosome 21, which caused Down’s syndrome with the development of the karyotyping test, combined with the ability to collect foetal cells from a pregnant woman’s amniotic fluid.

Genetic testing can be divided into two eras: Before the Humana Genome Project and after the Human Genome Project. The defining event between them was the announcement of the first draft of the human genome in 2000, a breakthrough in Genetic Testing.

In the present scenario, genetic testing techniques such as “whole exome sequencing” and microarrays have increased the accessibility of genetic testing by providing quick and cost-effective data. The whole-genome sequencing technique uses in the protein-coding region of the genome, and the microarrays technique probe for sets of specific variations in the DNA.

With advancements in genetic testing, leading companies like Genesight and BiogeniQ have improved upon traditional whole-genome testing platforms by analyzing how a subset of a patient’s genes may affect their medication outcomes at a fraction of the cost. Results from these technologies can inform doctors about how each patient may respond to certain medications and avoid unsafe and ineffective medications.

Hybrid Meat Analogues – A Middle Ground between Plant-based & Traditional Meat

Image
I n the context of semi-vegetarian choices, hybrid meat analogues are emerging as an alternative to traditional meat products. These are produced using blends of plant and animal ingredients in varying proportions to provide a meaty taste and texture, with the added nutritional benefits from plants. Compared to plant-based alternatives, hybrid analogues such as burgers, sausages, meatballs, and mince have the potential to reduce GHG emissions by 32% if 50% of meat is replaced by plant proteins. The development of hybrid meat analogues begets opportunities and challenges due to the alterations in technical & sensory properties (texture, appearance, taste, etc.) of the meat matrices caused by plant portion. Technical challenges Major technical challenge faced while blending plant-based proteins with meat proteins is the formation of elastic gels through the enclosure of water and fat particles in the protein network upon heating due to the high emulsifying capacity of myofibrilla...

Envisioning the Dual Repercussions of FDA’s Accelerated Approval Pathway

Image
Clinical trials are comprehensive research studies conducted to ensure that recently developed medical interventions, including novel drugs, surgical & other devices, and treatments/ therapies, are safe and effective for human use before commercialization. These trials provide evidence for regulatory bodies like the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency (EMA), Health Canada, UK’s Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency, and China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) to ensure that a specific medical intervention is safe for the public use, begets limited adverse effects, and meets quality standards. However, it takes 10 to 15 years or even more to complete all three clinical trial phases before reaching the licensing stage. Thus, FDA introduced accelerated or expedite approvals to pace up the approval of drugs that treat severe conditions and address unmet medical needs. Before proceeding with the pros and cons of the FDA’s expe...
