Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Genome editing is an exciting but still nascent field, and companies in the area face as many obstacles as they do opportunities. Maybe in 50 years’ time we’ll be using gene editing to lower cholesterol, but it won’t replace statins in anyone but those with life threatening mutations for a long time”. Zinc fingers.

Single-course in vivo base editing therapy proven to lower cholesterol

Drug Discovery World

It is caused by a single gene mutation that impairs the body’s ability to mediate LDL cholesterol. Since the mutation only affects a single gene, it makes it a prime candidate for genome editing treatments. FH is one of the most common genetic conditions, affecting around one in 300 people globally.
