Send us Fan Mail Dr. Michel Koren and Dr. Mitchell Rothstein host a presentation in front of a live audience to discuss the current state of gene editing. The doctoral duo discuss developments including new-to-market medical therapies, clinical trials, and the legal issues surrounding gene therapy patents. They also explain the difference between gene silencing techniques, which temporarily stop genes from creating proteins, and gene editing techniques which permanently alter the genome. They also touch on controversies, risks, and the comprehensive considerations that take place before a participant can partake in a gene editing clinical trial.

Can We Edit Genes to Lower Cholesterol?

MedEvidence! Truth Behind the Data

Welcome to the MedEvidence Podcast. This episode is a rebroadcast from a live MedEvidence presentation. Hey Mitch. How are you doing, Mike? Very excited about this talk. So am I. It's taking a lot of preparation to catch up with everything. Yeah, we've been talking about gene editing for decades now. And so you want to ask the audience the first question, do we think we can edit genes to lower cholesterol or not? Who thinks that we

can do it right today as we speak? And who thinks that it's just aspirational that maybe some point in the future we can do it? Okay. All right. Well, I guess we're going to find out the answer. I hope so. Yeah. So I guess we got to start with the basics. So as Alyssa very nicely said, we try to bring everything down to a very understandable level. And we use a lot of terminology in science and

sometimes we assume that people really understand what it is, but you may have just a vague understanding. So it's always good to go to the basics and define things. Absolutely. So let's start with the most basic thing. What is a gene? Okay. And as you probably know, most of you have been here before. This is not a free lunch. You have to work for this lunch. And the way you work for this lunch is by being part of our audience response system.

And it's really important just to have fun, but also to help educate everybody and also for us to know the things we need to get into more detail on in terms of explanations. Right. So let's start with a very simple question.
