March 2023
Genomic imprinting
Viable bipaternal embryos were created.
2022
RNA interference
FDA and EMA approve vutrisiran for treating adults with hereditary transthyretin mediated amyloidosis with polyneuropathy stage 1 or 2.
2022
Genomic imprinting
Parthenogenesis experimentally achieved in mice.
2020
RNA interference
FDA approved lumasiran for the treatment of PH1 (Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1).
2020
RNA interference
Lumasiran receives approval in both the European Union and United States for treating primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1) in pediatric and adult populations.
2020
RNA interference
Inclisiran receives approval in Europe with anticipated US approval in 2021.
December 2020
RNA interference
Novartis announced positive phase III efficacy study results for inclisiran as a treatment for heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
November 2019
RNA interference
FDA grants givosiran breakthrough therapy designation, priority review designation, and orphan drug designation for treating acute hepatic porphyria (AHP).
2018
RNA interference
FDA approved patisiran, the first siRNA-based drug.
2018
RNA interference
Patisiran becomes the first double-stranded siRNA-based medication approved, developed by Alnylam Pharmaceuticals to suppress the TTR gene responsible for hereditary ATTR amyloidosis.
2018
Genomic imprinting
Genome editing allowed for creation of bipaternal and viable bimaternal mouse embryos.
2012 The existence of backsplicing was first suggested, explaining the genesis of circular RNAs through a specific exonic junction mechanism where the 3' boundary of an exon connects with the 5' boundary of an upstream exon.
2010
RNA interference
First-in-human Phase I clinical trial started, using a nanoparticle delivery system to target solid tumors.
