Can MGUS be cured by CRISPR?

Posted by ewcbhc @ewcbhc, Oct 26 1:03pm

MGUS is a genetic mutation.
CRISPR can be used to find and remove MGUS cells.
Removing MGUS proteins from my blood stream should stop the progression of my peripheral neuropathy caused by MGUS proteins.
Who can I get at the Mayo Clinic to do it?

@ewcbhc, here are some relevant articles from Mayo Clinic:
- How will CRISPR gene editing change healthcare? https://mcpress.mayoclinic.org/healthy-aging/how-will-crispr-gene-editing-change-healthcare/
- Researchers test DNA editing, recommend steps to improve accuracy https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/researchers-test-dna-editing-recommend-steps-to-improve-accuracy/
- RegenBio Summit: Could a molecular scissors heal disease? https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/regenbio-summit-could-a-molecular-scissors-heal-disease/

CRISPR holds much promise and hope, and this research at Mayo Clinic. I wonder if you might be eligible and interested in this Mayo clinical trial involving patients interested in CRISPR technology:

Thank you, very much for taking time to humor an old fool. My problems are trivial inconveniences compared to so may others with serious life threatening diseases.

The current state of research in the USA appears to be: 1. Making recommendations for accuracy.
2. Doing an opinion survey about prenatal care and ten diseases.
3. Promising hope that CRISPR might be of some use to some people some day.

It is becoming intuitively obvious to this casual observer that my great great grand children might benefit from this technology.

There is no one at the Mayo or else where aggressively using this powerful tool.
