A baby with a severe genetic disorder has been successfully treated using a personalized gene-editing treatment, marking a medical milestone. Doctors used CRISPR technology to correct the genetic misspelling unique to this patient. This groundbreaking procedure highlights the potential of gene-editing therapies to address rare and previously untreatable genetic conditions. The treatment was administered as part of a landmark clinical trial, demonstrating the ability to rewrite DNA in a way tailored specifically to an individual’s genetic mutation.
