Doctors try 1st CRISPR editing in the body for blindness
Good news!
"The gene-editing tool CRISPR has been used for the first time inside the body of an adult patient, in an attempt to cure a form of blindness.
The treatment: According to the Associated Press, doctors dripped just a few drops of a gene-editing mixture beneath the retina of a patient in Oregon who suffers from Leber congenital amaurosis, a rare inherited disease that leads to progressive vision loss. Cells that take up the mixture can have their DNA permanently corrected, potentially restoring a degree of vision." (Source)

First Patient Receives In Vivo CRISPR Editing | The Scientist Magazine®: Doctors in Oregon delivered the gene editing machinery behind the retina in hopes of treating an inherited form of blindness, according to the companies that developed the therapy.
