Many diseases are caused by genetic defects. However, their severity can vary among individual patients, so that even mild forms can occur. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim have now decrypted a molecular mechanism responsible for this phenomenon. Accordingly, the mRNA of the defective gene ensures that related genes are activated thereby compensating the defect. The researchers hope to make use of this mechanism for therapeutic approaches.
