A new study has been released and the findings may help cure genetic disorders such as cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and many types of cancer.

Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center believe they have found a new way to change genetic code. For the first time, researchers manipulated and changed the protein creation process from "stop" to "go". Dr. Bambara believes this "miracle" will help change the medical community.

"I think what it shows is that an entire range of diseases can be approached by a new technique. It falls into the same category as many other exciting discoveries. I hope it will be useful. It is general for a lot of different diseases and it looks very specific and elegant," said Robert Bambara, Ph.D., chair of the Biochemistry Physics Department.

According the URMC, they say estimates suggest that approximately one-third of genetic diseases are caused by proteins that are pre-maturely "stopped".

Lead researcher Dr. Yi Tao Yu made the discovery.
