AI Article Synopsis

  • Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is often linked to lifestyle factors and has the highest prevalence in India, followed by China and the United States.
  • The objective of the study was to review literature on novel gene therapy approaches, particularly focusing on CRISPR Cas9 and other gene-editing techniques for treating T2DM.
  • The conclusion highlights that advancements in gene-editing technologies like CRISPR Cas9 could lead to innovative therapeutic strategies for T2DM by allowing precise modifications in the genome.

Article Abstract

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is frequently referred to as a "lifestyle illness". In 2000, India (31.7 million) had the greatest global prevalence of diabetes mellitus, followed by China (20.8 million), the United States (17.7 million), and other countries. In recent years, the treatment of gene therapy (T2DM) has attracted intensive interest.

Objective: We aimed to critically review the literature on the various techniques and methods, which may be a possible novel approach through the gene therapy CRISPR Cas9 and some other gene editing techniques for T2DM. Interventional and pharmacological approaches for the treatment of T2DM were also included to identify novel therapies for its treatment.

Method: An extensive literature survey was done on databases like PubMed, Elsevier, Science Direct and Springer.

Conclusion: It can be concluded from the study that recent advancements in gene-editing technologies, such as CRISPR Cas9, have opened new avenues for the development of novel therapeutic approaches for T2DM. CRISPR Cas9 is a powerful tool that enables precise and targeted modifications of the genome.
