Gene Editing Research

Posted by panamsandy @panamsandy, Sep 2 4:35pm

This is more for the Mayo clinic staff:
In this month's Reader's Digest, there is an article entitled Saving Baby KJ. It is about Dr. Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas research on gene mutation editing of the mutation of the CPS1 gene. This editing helped basically cure an infant. Is there any work being done on gene mutation editing of the JAK2 gene? If this is even a thing. Just asking.

I saw recently a calr mutation gene editing research trial.
