American scientists have discovered a gene responsible for the development of myopia [new drugs
Ophthalmologists already knew: if the parents wear glasses, where the child a better chance of eye problems. But now researchers from Duke University, the U.S. found the exact explanation of why this is happening. It turned out for the fall of this gene is responsible RASGRF1, and not overload the eye and reading in the dark. The function of the gene - the perception of the image. And even the formation of visual memory. If it's something wrong - will have to wear glasses. - For this discovery, a great future - said the head of the research team, Terry Young. - In the near future, you can create genetic cures for nearsightedness. Usually open until pererata is a long time. But! Eye - a unique body. Thanks to the "successful" and a small arrangement of forms, genetic medicine for vision can be developed in a shorter period of time. in IRTC "Eye Microsurgery" named SNFedorov believe that genetic medicine could be a good tool in their work. These developments are widely used in the treatment of other diseases. But consider that a full cycle of drug development still leaves at least 10 years. It is quite possible that these drugs will be quite expensive - like all innovations related to genetics.
