While there aren't any cures yet, certain treatments and lifestyle strategies may slow its progression, keep quality of life as long as possible and stuff like that for as long as possible. (And the sooner you start with that, the better)

Yeah, something tells me they're not completely altruistic about this even though I get where they're coming from.
For other diseases caused like this you're mostly right on the money - sometimes because while a single gene might be the culprit, the mechanism is unknown, sometimes mutations in some ‘single-gene disorders’ may not be in a single-gene at all, not to even mention other possible interactions or the risks inherent to gene therapy.
Unless someone actually used them as medicine and then just perscribed faith-based/supernatural powers to them (so people wouldn't complain/accuse them of being witches)
If you did, what's the competition like? Can you carve out a niche for yourself?
...Now that you're properly discouraged - can you overcome all those challenges? If you can, calculate how much effort(look: money) it would take to do make your product into a money-making product; something you can sell...
...And then decide whether it might just be worth trying, even if the chances are small, even if you need to buckle up and work like a horse.
As for GPT-4 - it can't even recognize for itself whether data is good or bad, and it can't even recognize that it doesn't know something; IMO right now it's still basically just a black box that takes an input and produces a statistically matching output. A very good one, but still.
For the worker, the solution is to find a job with a smaller load. For the company, it's to either to find more people to join or to convince the person who manages the high load to stay on as long as possible.
For those cases try something like Google Cache or Wayback Machine! It still won't always work, but it's nevertheless got a pretty good success rate.
Good or bad, the ones at the top have to be responsible for whatever happens under them or the buck just gets passed around, and if we don't even know where to point the finger, they don't have an incentive to be better.
A naming convention like this, while a bit stupid, would be better than having to look up who bought/owns/(is a subsidiary of) whom.
