ABOUT CONFERENCE

Sessions and Tracks

Track 1: Genetics

Genetics study of heredity and varieties. Genomics and varieties are controlled by qualities—what they are, their specialty, and how they work. Genes inside the core of a cell are hung together so that the arrangement conveys data that data decides how living beings acquire different highlights (phenotypic attributes). For instance, posterity created by sexual multiplication normally appears to be like every one of their folks since they have acquired a portion of every one of their folk’s qualities. Genetics distinguishes which highlights are acquired, and clarifies how these highlights go from age to age. The Genetic code not just controls heritage. It likewise controls quality articulation, which happens when a segment of the twofold helix is uncoiled, uncovering a progression of the nucleotides, which are inside of the DNA to turn on the Gene. Closing the uncoiled segment turns off the gene.

Track 2: Genetically Modified foods

Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods derived from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) has been modified in a way that does not occur naturally, e.g. through the introduction of a gene from a different organism. The technology is often called “modern biotechnology” or “gene technology”, sometimes also “recombinant DNA technology” or “genetic engineering”. Currently available GM foods stem mostly from plants, but in the future foods derived from GM microorganisms or GM animals are likely to be introduced on the market. Most existing genetically modified crops have been developed to improve yield through the introduction of resistance to plant diseases or of increased tolerance of herbicides. GM foods can also allow for reductions in food prices through improved yields and reliability.

Track 3: Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs):

People have been altering the genomes of plants and animals for many years using traditional breeding techniques. Artificial selection for specific, desired traits has resulted in a variety of different organisms, ranging from sweet corn to hairless cats. But this artificial selection, in which organisms that exhibit specific traits are chosen to breed subsequent generations, has been limited to naturally occurring variations. In recent decades, however, advances in the field of genetic engineering have allowed for precise control over the genetic changes introduced into an organism. Today, we can incorporate new genes from one species into a completely unrelated species through genetic engineering, optimizing agricultural performance or facilitating the production of valuable pharmaceutical substances. Crop plants, farm animals, and soil bacteria are some of the more prominent examples of organisms that have been subject to genetic engineering.

Track 4: Genetic Disorders

Hereditary issues are the genetic issue, implying that they are passed down from the parent's qualities or brought about by at least one anomaly in the genome. In such cases, the deformity may be passed down in the event that it happens in the germ line and most hereditary issue are very uncommon and influence one individual in each few thousands or millions. Hereditary issue may in like manner be mind boggling, multifactorial, or polygenic which means they are likely associated with the effects of various qualities ways of life and natural elements. Multifactorial issue consolidates coronary ailment and diabetes. Albeit complex issue much of the time bunch in families, they don't have an undeniable case of heritage. This makes it difficult to choose a man's threat of getting or passing on these disarranges.

Increasing adoption of genetic testing for early detection of diseases and identification of genetic mutation prior to its manifestation will further augment industry growth over the forecast period. The industry is expected to witness rapid growth in the future owing to rising physician adoption of genetic testing into clinical care. Availability of regulatory support for direct to consumer (DTC) testing and ongoing advancements in technology enable industry players to maintain their market position.

Growing Demand for Personalized Medicine

Personalized medicine, where tailored therapy is made available to patients with an understanding of the molecular basis of diseases, has become popular over the recent years. Genetic testing and genome sequencing are two of the most important tools that are used to understand the molecular basis of a disease. European countries are screened for several genetic diseases, as an early detection of these diseases can prevent the onset of symptoms, or minimize the severity of the disease. Genetic testing for cancer diagnosis can indicate the predisposition of the disease in the gene, before its actual manifestation. This type of diagnostic technique enables a person to take precautionary steps, and avoid possible risks in the future.

Social and Ethical Implications of Genetic Testing

Insurance is an important asset to people. The fear of discrimination by insurance companies discourages people from undertaking genetic tests, which is a restraining factor for the market growth. The expensive nature of genetic tests affects the market, adversely. At times, the payments made by individuals are not reimbursed through insurance, thus, affecting the pockets of these patients. The high-import duty by the government on genetic tests kits also acts as a barrier to the market growth. 

North America to Dominate the Market

The genetic testing market is segmented by treatment type, diseases, technology, and geography. By geography, the market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America.

Owing to the presence of well-established healthcare facilities and new discoveries in the field of genetic markers, North America dominates the genetic testing market. The Asia-Pacific market is expected to register the highest CAGR, as government and private firms are making significant investments in the healthcare industry. Over the last couple of years, to invest in the Japanese market, several mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations between companies have taken place.
