... the suprachoroidal injection approach delivers the gene therapy payload via the potential space between the sclera and the choroid(suprachoroidal space, or SCS). This is a potentially favored injection site for gene therapy because it may reduce the likelihood of eliciting an immunologic response due to its unique location with respect to the blood-retina barrier while simultaneously permitting adequate gene expression to control the nAMD [neovascular age-related macular degeneration] disease process. Surgical access to the SCS can be facilitated by creation of a sclerotomy, followed by introduction of a catheter or cannula. Separately, and potentially of greater interest, is for suprachoroidal gene therapy to be delivered in the clinic setting by utilizing hypodermic needles or hollow microneedles. 1, record 1, English, - suprachoroidal%20gene%20therapy

TALENs are a chimera of transcription activator-like effectors (TALEs) and restriction enzymes, predominantly Fok1 nuclease. The TALE proteins act as programmable DNA search engines while the Fok1 are the molecular scissors cutting the DNA target site. 4, record 2, English, - transcription%20activator%2Dlike%20effector%20nuclease

Transcription activator-like effector nucleases(TALENs) are restriction enzymes that bind to DNA based on its specificity and can be tailored to cut sequences of DNA. They are made by combining TAL [transcription activator-like] binding domains, which allows entry into a cell, and a DNA cleavage domain, which is helpful in gene editing. These can be tailored to bind to any targeted area in the genome to cut any desired specific location. 5, record 2, English, - transcription%20activator%2Dlike%20effector%20nuclease

Since alleles derived from different parental origins that are identical in nucleotide sequence may exhibit imprinting, the differences between the paternal and maternal genetic material are due to differential programming during spermatogenesis or oogenesis. The different packaging constraints of the sperm cell compared with the ovum also may be important. The regulatory mechanisms superimpose on the nucleotide sequence of a gene to determine the location, timing and degree of expression, and are termed epigenetic effects. Epigenetic modification(rather than genetic divergence of the gametes) of the DNA is likely to be the signal that marks the sperm and egg alleles as different. Imprinting is a special type of epigenetic inheritance that is passed through the gene line into somatic tissues of the progeny and is parent-specific. 1, record 4, English, - epigenetic%20modification

The existence of a breast cancer susceptibility gene known as BRCA1 and its approximate location on human chromosome 17 have been known for about four years, based on family studies, but only now have scientists actually isolated, or "cloned, "the gene--pinpointed its exact location and made copies of it in the laboratory. In some families, the gene is inherited in a mutated(altered) form. Women who inherit a mutated form are highly susceptible to breast and ovarian cancers. 1, record 6, English, - susceptibility%20gene
