Russian Scientists to develop Genetic Health Passports

Moscow (Russia), Feb 01 (ANI): How to prolong life, avoid the development of cancer, and identify dangerous mutations and predispositions to injury, Russian scientists already know. They are developing Genetic Health Passports for the early detection of age-related diseases in the people. Reading the genes helps to see the propensity for age-related diseases such as heart attacks, diabetes, and thrombosis. With the right therapy, for example, vascular elasticity can be improved, and then a pressure spike will not lead to a stroke. They read into the genes for a predisposition for the formation of cancer, which manifests itself with a certain lifestyle. Check for severe hereditary diseases in the genes to see the risk of giving birth to a sick child. Prevent the development of benign tumours, but not yet cancer caused by a mutation in the genes - here a step is taken by genomic editing. And in the future, the wrong gene can simply be removed, and a healthy one put in, like correcting an error in a text.
