Researchers innovative technique looks to cure syndromes such as those that cause cleft lips and palates in babies.
An Israeli-French team of scientists has developed an innovative technique that they believe will cure numerous rare genetic syndromes in babies.
These syndromes include those that cause cleft lips and palates; defects in the fingernails, sweat glands, teeth, fingers, skull and facial bones; and a syndrome that makes the corneas opaque, threatening the victim with blindness.
Researchers from the Technion- Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and the Paris Descartes University investigated the cause of ectodermal dysplasia, which affects seven out of every 10,000 babies born in the world. The collection of syndromes, they discovered, results from a mutation in the p63 gene.
