Este artigo revisa os avanços recentes e os desafios na aplicação da tecnologia CRISPR-Cas9 para o tratamento de doenças genéticas raras. As doenças genéticas raras, frequentemente causadas por mutações específicas, representam um desafio significativo para a medicina tradicional. A tecnologia CRISPR-Cas9, que permite edições precisas no genoma, oferece uma abordagem promissora para corrigir essas mutações, abrindo novas possibilidades terapêuticas. Desde sua introdução, CRISPR-Cas9 tem demonstrado sucesso em modelos pré-clínicos para diversas condições, como distrofia muscular de Duchenne e anemia falciforme. A metodologia deste estudo envolveu uma revisão sistemática da literatura nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus e Web of Science, abrangendo artigos publicados entre 2012 e 2024. Foram incluídos estudos que abordam a aplicação do CRISPR-Cas9 no tratamento de doenças genéticas raras, com foco nos avanços técnicos e clínicos, além de desafios éticos e regulatórios. Os dados foram analisados criticamente, considerando a eficácia, segurança, métodos de entrega e considerações éticas associadas à tecnologia. Na discussão, o artigo destaca os principais avanços, como a capacidade de CRISPR-Cas9 de restaurar a expressão de genes funcionais em modelos animais, o que tem levado a melhorias significativas nas funções afetadas pelas mutações. No entanto, a aplicação clínica enfrenta desafios substanciais, como a precisão da edição genética e a entrega eficiente do complexo CRISPR-Cas9 às células-alvo. Além disso, as implicações éticas da modificação genética, especialmente em células germinativas, continuam a ser um tópico de debate acalorado. Em conclusão, embora o CRISPR-Cas9 represente um avanço notável na medicina genética, sua aplicação clínica plena depende de superar desafios técnicos e éticos. A continuidade da pesquisa e o desenvolvimento de regulamentações globais harmonizadas serão cruciais para transformar essa tecnologia em uma ferramenta terapêutica viável para doenças genéticas raras, oferecendo novas esperanças para pacientes que sofrem dessas condições.

Bone neoplasms are considered rare in feline species. Osteosarcoma (OSA) is responsible for 85% of malignant bone tumors in dogs and 70% in cats, however, demographic information regarding feline OSA is less reliable than in dogs, for being a less ommon disease. Apparently, cats develop osteosarcoma at a higher age average than dogs. Tumor clinical course is slower compared to canine one, especially in appendicular skeleton. Presented study evaluated 14 cases of primary bone tumors in cats, integranting clinical, imaging and histopathological analysis for better understading this disease in feline species. Male cats were the most affected ones (71,4%) and age average for neoplasia development was 9 years old. Bone sclerosis predominated in radiographic images, being justified by histopathological findings. Osteosarcoma (n=10) was the most frequent neoplasia, followed by chondrosarcoma (n=3). The most common osteosarcoma subtype was chondroblastic. The only diagnosed benign tumor was an osteochondroma. Metastasis rate was 46,2% affecting lungs, skin and other bones. The knowledge and relationship observed between clinical, radiographic and pathological findings in feline bone tumors must be taken into consideration to better prognostic determination and disease follow-up in cats.
