Messenger RNA Disorders

Messenger RNA (mRNA) disorders occur when the messenger RNA, which carries genetic instructions from DNA to make proteins, is faulty or malfunctioning. These disorders can result from mutations, leading to either the production of defective proteins or no proteins at all. Such issues can disrupt normal cell function and lead to various diseases, including some types of cancer and genetic disorders. Understanding mRNA disorders is crucial for developing targeted therapies, as correcting or modifying mRNA can potentially restore proper protein production and alleviate the symptoms of these conditions.
