First use of CRISPR to edit genes in the human body
This is exciting: the news story reports the first use of CRISPR to edit genes while still inside the human body. In this case, it is to treat Leber congenital amaurosis, a rare genetic disorder which causes blindness.

I hope that editing the genes for KD won't be too far behind!
