REPORT SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The goal of the study, New Developments in Treating Genetic Disorders: The Global Market, is to provide an overview of a range of genetic disorders, both mutation and chromosomal in nature, and provide market summaries and new research and developments. The market is discussed for the 2009 year and forecasts are provided through 2014. Product descriptions, discussions of new research, and company profiles are also provided.
The study also covers issues affecting the current and forecasted market, patent information, and a list of key organizations covering genetic disorders.
REASONS FOR DOING THE STUDY
Treating genetic disorders has become one of the most complicated areas of medicine and there are several thousand disorders resulting from gene mutations and chromosomal malfunctions. Scientists have studied these disorders for decades; however, there remain only a limited number of disorders with available treatments. The demand for new development is strong with biopharmaceutical companies, governments, private organizations, and universities actively seeking new treatments. Several new developments have emerged over the past few years resulting in markets worth billions of dollars. This study will explore research and development in several select areas of genetic disorders and discuss the current and potential market growth.
