How Can CRISPR Help in Treating Neonatal Disorders?
CRISPR technology offers several potential applications in the treatment of neonatal disorders:
Gene Correction: CRISPR can be used to correct genetic mutations that cause disorders like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and other congenital conditions. Gene Knockout: This technique can deactivate genes that contribute to disease, potentially offering a cure for certain metabolic disorders. Gene Addition: CRISPR can introduce new genes to replace missing or dysfunctional ones, which can be particularly useful in treating genetic disorders.
