SHARE

In a groundbreaking announcement at the ASGCT conference in New Orleans, Kiran Musunuru, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, shared a remarkable achievement in the field of gene therapy. The highlight of the event was the successful custom CRISPR editing of the genome of a young infant known as Baby KJ.

For the first time ever, Musunuru and his team were able to target and correct a unique genetic mutation in Baby KJ’s DNA. This monumental feat represents a significant step forward in the decades-long quest to decipher and manipulate the genetic code of life. The custom CRISPR treatment designed specifically for Baby KJ has opened the door to new possibilities for treating other individuals, both children, and adults, who are grappling with life-threatening diseases caused by rare or one-of-a-kind mutations.

The success of this pioneering genetic editing procedure has sparked hope among researchers, medical professionals, and patient advocates alike. It serves as a blueprint for future endeavors aimed at combating a wide range of genetic disorders with tailored treatments. The implications of this achievement are far-reaching, offering a glimmer of hope for individuals facing otherwise dire prognoses.

While the details of Baby KJ’s case and the groundbreaking CRISPR treatment are truly remarkable, the full article is available exclusively to STAT+ subscribers.
