Cleveland – One-time treatment with CRISPR-Cas9 gene shears could save people with high cholesterol and triglyceride levels from regular drug therapy in the future. Treatment, which mimics a rare genetic defect, has proven to be safe in a phase 1a study. The significant decrease in lipid levels has been observed in...
A single gene editing procedure using CRISPR-Cas9 technology opens up the prospect of treating high cholesterol with just one intervention instead of long-term medication.
An experimental therapy using CRISPR-Cas9 technology significantly reduced LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, even a year after a single dose. Researchers call the results promising, but warn that larger trials are needed. A new genetic treatment could open a new avenue for patients with very high cholesterol and […]
