It is autosomal dominant meaning 50 % of children have chance to get same. Evidence shows that the syndrome is associated with an increased risk of extraintestinal malignancy, especially carcinomas of the pancreas, breast, and reproductive organs.

Please read the article which was published regarding the BRCA gene editing from embryos. They didnt do gene editing. It was embryo selection. So those embryos which did not have the gene were implanted. Gene editing if technically feasible, but a lot of problems with it at present. Feel free to contact me directly if you want to discuss this further.

Sir. My friend is suffering from freidriech ataxia. I want to know that treatment for freidriech ataxia is it possible or not?

Hello, Generally, within 10 to 20 years after the appearance of the first symptoms the person is confined to a wheelchair. Individuals may become completely incapacitated in later stages of the disease. Friedreich ataxia can shorten life expectancy, and heart disease is the most common cause of death.
