CRISPR Helps Get Closer to Cure for Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
This is Only the Beginning
Though there is still lots to be understood about the human genome and the journey has just started. Just example of one thing that yet has to be understood is the subject of gene expression or epigenetics. In short, it is not necessary to edit or delete the particular gene sequence to treat genetic disorders; another approach could be changing the gene expression, making specific gene inactive rather than complete deletion, this method could be safer and more physiological (2).
