When we know what exactly causes Coeliac disease & the Genes involved, why’s there difficulty in finding a cure?
In: Biology
Because just knowing the cause of something doesn’t mean you know the solution. Genes don’t work like they do in the movies. You can’t just inject someone with a green fluid and change their genes. For all intents and purposes, genes are immutable. All that can be done is treat the symptoms, which means finding a drug that can intercept the proteins produced by the faulty genes and prevent them functioning, and that’s much easier said than done.
