has refused to undergo a genetic test. it's kind of like can understand that because then you have it in writing and there's no denying it if my father says he's now so old anyway and doesn't want that then i have to accept it. where cancer genes are involved patients in germany are provided with screenings and preventive surgery most hereditary diseases however are incurable now scientists in gene laboratories are using d.n.a. scissors to directly intervene in human cells with the hope of repairing them wrigley field. we get a lot of e-mails and letters from people with genetic diseases asking us to help them. out of this in but we can't yet because the technologies we are developing still have to be tested in clinical trials and. the goodness of. we're still far from finding a cure for all hereditary diseases but what professor beholds and his team can do is astonishing they took cells infected with hiv and completely removed the genome that had introduced the virus so far that work is limited to animal experiments but t

not a known genetic problem at least. and a problem that isn't there can't be passed down. so that's good news. melanie has been given the all clear for the time being because we can say now is that with the technology and the knowledge we currently have at our disposal of we have not found any evidence of anything unusual but in a few years' time it may be a quite different scenario thanks to further insights and advances in genetic diagnostics technology so why don't think of. human geneticists can currently test for around 100 individual genetic mutations that lead to cancer what are known as modern genic diseases most genetic disorders however involve a number of genes these poly genic diseases are far more complex and difficult to identify for these to be discovered there would 1st have to be larger scale studies with more volunteers. able to detect and show changes in a range of different people where you wouldn't expect them to. sense there is no such thing as a genetically healthy individual. or you can do is brea

it's a genetic risk he was born with. while she was in hospital she warned my sister and me that we might get it too and could very might be genetic and he didn't gain legal. like his mother white or studied medicine but he didn't remember her warning until some of his own patients who had the disease reminded him. quite a began to go for regular checkups and for many years everything was fine when examining doctors found no sign of a disease he felt relieved and assumed he didn't have any unusual genetic risk but then he was diagnosed with colon cancer. when i was forty three i had a colonoscopy and they found i had cancer of the cold on them. they were able to remove it surgically so i didn't need came a therapy kind of humor to. at that point the whiter decided he wanted to know whether his disease had a genetic component. he wondered if he might have passed the risk on to his own four children. the doctor turned patient went to munich center of medical genetics he wanted to know if he carried a genetic variation assoc

genetic tests going to far reaching consequences so before you do a genetic test get informed what it really means and talk to your. some diseases can actually be caused by genes take colon cancer or breast cancer for example some special forms can be inherited it's simple blood test can tell you if you're affected. and i go to is a retired physician for a long time he didn't know that he has an unusually high risk of getting a certain kind of cancer. it's a genetic risk he was born with. only 21st minamata when i was 20 my mother died of metal started colon cancer. while she was in hospital she warned my sister and me that we might get it too. and that it might be genetic and if you didn't gain an illegal. like his mother the writer studied medicine but he didn't remember her warning until some of his own patients who had the disease reminded him. of the vital began to go for regular checkups and for many years everything was fine when examining doctors found no sign of a disease he felt relieved and assumed he didn't have any unusual genetic risk but then he was diagnosed with colon

these scissors have become one of the most important tools in the world, genetics labs, genetic scissors, work on plants and animals. and even on humans, they're universal. and that's why they have such huge potential the new technology is so powerful that in just a few years, it's become a fundamental technique for geneticists. in modern plant breeding in research and in medicine. but with great power comes great responsibility. should humans intervene in the blueprint of a living being? is it crossing an ethical boundary? in creating new species, many fear that humans are playing god. genetic scissors are already being used in a wide range of applications, like customized plant breeding. and the development of new drugs, treatments and vaccines. it's created a lot of excitement in medical research, but some people are frightened by the technology. geneticist, professor joachim vit boat says society needs to be aware of the opportunities and dangers, especially when it comes to human applications. the fog isn't mobile fume on this. i question is always about what you use it for lines of

just because we wanted to film a field of genetically modified corn. why such hostility on social media? the tone is quite different. take this official video of howard buffett talking about funding this g m. o cornfield in uganda. the morning. when are you? i remember when i sat down last here and i was trying to explain how this project is gonna work. it, the only way you can say is we're going to bring rain and they look at you like, why are you going to do that? i see it, but buffets miracles can only happen if farmers adopt new technologies and abandoned traditional farming. a rich white benefactor telling africans what to do, reminiscent of the colonial era. so the next few years, we hope that you can learn how to improve some of your planting. ah, why are we not allowed to film here? because in the world of genetically modified organisms or g m o's control is paramount every word and every image is carefully cultivated. for this social networks offer an ideal platform. imagine what it's like the live in extreme poverty. you have to think about t

it's very clear about me on the sweet only want to identifying genetic variance that cause genetic disorders that manifest in early childhood food and keep this out of money 1st bid. and we aim to identify diseases where early screening or treatment could significantly improve outcomes or even lead to a tour come to that kind of. and so any diagnosis made through screening must have a direct impact on treatment. while this seems reasonable, that also means withholding diagnoses that could still be important to families. take the romero family 7 year old kiara has a rare genetic disorder called do 15 q syndrome. children born with this condition can have a range of complex disabilities including autism, spectrum disorder, and epilepsy. m. it's 6 more, not in park there. she was 6 months old when she had her 1st seizure and a new team. we went to the hospital, but they missed diagnosed it as a re fox and sent us home safely. things major step for our health care system is inputs this team on file. so believe we have the right to know if i should be fully the right. not to know certain things,

there's been a dismal failure on genetically modified cotton now the genetically modified mosquito project can only be assessed. what we have already experienced with the release the 1st thing is that on their own version of target malaria there is no benefits to be accrued to the population or to the american medication as a result of the release the release was intended for 2 purposes one to test the regulator capacity of the regulators of that country and to to by public acceptance not in mosquitoes but for the project's main and that is to release genetically a to release gene tribe organisms in the killer fossil in particular gene dr mosquitoes ok. so regarding that then what are the risks involved so the risks involved in regard to 1st the g.m.o. skeeter let's let's look at what they doing they actually need to clean modifying one species of the nominees mosquito namely and often this can be our where as many and of the species transmitted malaria. 2nd very very little independent by a safety risk assessment has been done many independent by safety scientists have expressed great con
