Abstract
The Neurodegenerative Diseases are, according to recent studies, one of the main causes of disability and death worldwide. Interest in molecular genetics has started to have an exponential growth thanks to numerous advancements in tech, shifts in the understanding of the disease as a phenomenon, and the change of perspective regarding gene editing and the upsides of this action. The aim of this paper is to analyse the newest approaches in genetics and molecular sciences regarding four of the most important neurodegenerative disorders: Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Huntington’s Disease and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. We intend through this review to focus on the newest treatment, diagnosis and predictions plans regarding this large group of diseases, in order to obtain a better accuracy analysing and spotting the emerging signs that could lead to a better outcome in order to increase both the quality and the life span of the patient. Moreover, this review could provide future evidence of possible novelty therapies that target the specific genes and could be useful to be taken into consideration when the classical approaches fail to shed light.
