- Scientists use CRISPR to delete CCR5 gene (providing immunity to HIV) in single patient - study failed to control infection (attributable to low DNA edit rates), but was safe (no unintended genetic alterations were observed) - this therapy made DNA edits in adult cells (can't be passed to next gen) https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa1817426?query=featured_home 5 comments science
