About this series – Telehealth for Genetics Residents and Fellows. A monthly teaching session brought to you by the members of the RCPSC Specialty Committee in Medical Genetics.
Considerations for Developing, Testing, and Administering Genetic Therapies
Genetic therapies like gene replacement therapy and antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are increasingly asked about in the clinic by patients and families. We will review specific examples of commercially available and bespoke/precision/”n-of-1″ treatments, and discuss considerations related to the design, testing, and implementation of genetic therapies for rare genetic diseases.
Learning objectives:
- Identify approved genetic therapies for rare genetic diseases.
- Compare different strategies for DNA and RNA based treatments.
- Describe considerations that are relevant to patient and family counselling.
