Every person carries over 20,000 genes that determine everything from eye color to susceptibility to certain illnesses. When even a single gene mutates, it can lead to inherited conditions that medicine has traditionally managed but rarely cured.
In recent years, CRISPR gene editing has emerged as one of the most promising frontiers in science, raising hopes for precise and lasting genetic disease treatment. Rather than treating symptoms, CRISPR offers the possibility of repairing the underlying cause, directly rewriting faulty DNA.
