United StatesColumbia University scientists have developed a new gene-editing technique using base editing to correct DNA errors in human embryos without causing chromosomal abnormalities. The study focused on repairing mutations in the PCSK9 gene, linked to high cholesterol, and the HBG genes, associated with blood disorders like sickle cell disease and thalassemia. While the method showed promise, it was not fully effective in all cells of the embryos.
