Even more sci-fi might be drugs that can mitigate the risk. Notable is the recent cocktail of drugs that coax the defective protein in CF to functioning better.

Even more sci-fi might be drugs that can mitigate the risk. Notable is the recent cocktail of drugs that coax the defective protein in CF to functioning better. There is one cancer gene I know that causes people to develop polyps in their intestines which then go on to become cancerous. Imagine a drug that stops that.
- pfisherman 3y agoOne of the weird things about oncogenes that I have observed is that there is a balance. Perturb them too far one way and you get cancer. Perturb them too far the other and you get a developmental disorder. This is not at all rigorously documented or studied. Just an anecdotal observation.
