"The 44-year-old from Phoenix, Arizona, who has lived with a rare, life-threatening genetic condition known as Hunter’s Syndrome since birth, last November became the first person in the world to undergo a new type of treatment that edits genes inside his body."
(...)
"Taylor uses a powerful new gene editing tool known as CRISPR-Cas9, which harnesses part of the defence mechanism used by bacteria to edit genes in other organisms. Its invention five years ago has transformed the speed and cost of editing genes, allowing scientists to accurately delete troublesome genes or create precise breaks in the DNA where new genes can be inserted. It has spurred a surge in research to identify defective genes in diseases.
While not many diseases can simply be turned off by deleting these defective genes, CRISPR-Cas9 has opened a new door for treating patients and unravelling how other conditions might be tackled."
