As our understanding of the underlying biology of disease grows more sophisticated, emerging therapies operate on increasingly complex biopathological systems and mechanisms. 2 This progress has implications for diagnosis, therapeutic efficacy, and potentially establishing clinically relevant endpoints.
Most rare diseases are caused by a single gene defect, but severity can vary considerably among patients. Modifier genes can help explain that variability and can alter or even prevent disease onset and progression, making them appealing therapeutic targets. However, the identification of these genes is challenging.
