In a major medical advancement, researchers have successfully used gene therapy to cure patients with a rare genetic disease that previously had no treatment options. The one-time therapy corrects the faulty gene responsible for the condition, with all 10 trial participants showing complete remission after six months. The treatment uses CRISPR technology to precisely edit DNA, representing a significant leap forward in personalized medicine. The FDA has granted breakthrough therapy designation, potentially fast-tracking approval. If approved, it could pave the way for treating thousands of other genetic disorders.
