Gene therapy has been successful in treating angiodema, a genetic disorder that causes painful swelling attacks.
The single-dose gene therapy using Crispr-Cas9 showed potential as a permanent cure for angiodema and has the potential to be a treatment for other genetic conditions.

Gene-Based Therapy Restores Cellular Development and Function in Brain Cells From People With Timothy Syndrome
A potential new therapy for Timothy syndrome shows promise in restoring typical cellular function in 3D structures created from patients' cells.
Antisense oligonucleotide therapeutic approach for Timothy syndrome - Nature
Timothy syndrome type 1 (TS1) is a severe genetic disorder affecting multiple organ systems and associated with neuropsychiatric conditions due to a pathogenic variant in CACNA1C.
Researchers Expand Understanding of Genetic Mechanisms Underlying Fragile X Syndrome
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic disorder caused by changes to the FMR1 gene.
FXS involves extensive silencing of genes that play key roles in building tissues and making the brain function properly.
In a World First, a Patient's Antibody Cells Were Just Genetically Engineered
Seattle-based biotech company, Immusoft, has genetically programmed a patient's B cells to treat a genetic disorder known as mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I).
The patient's B cells are engineered to produce an essential enzyme that his body doesn't produce, eliminating the need for regular infusions of the enzyme.
