"Scissors for DNA": Scientists developed the advanced technique of gene therapy of genetic diseases

The heavy combined immunodeficiencies (TKID) is a group of the life-threatening primary immunodeficiencies caused by genetic mutations, breaking development T-cages. Traditional treatment of sick SKID includes transplantation of stem cells, however search of compatible donors and possible complications present considerable difficulties. However the new method of gene therapy with use of technologies CRISPR-Cas9 under the name GE x HDR 2.0, University named after Meira Bar Ilan, gives hope for treatment of such genetic diseases, as SCID. Prospects of editing of a genome...
