CRISPR

Moein shared this with me. I've sent a message to them asking for more information. All I can say is thank you to Moein and wow to the potential of the possibilities this can bring!

The question I have is how long it will take to be used to help our boys

They hope 3-5 years to launch a clinical trial

Wow... that seems sooooo long. All the attention that is given to Crispr, you would think that it would be fast tracked sooner than that. I am no physician but I would think the race would be on to get this treatment out before others.

I am wondering if Sick Kids are the first one's to start a clinical trial how do US citizens get access to this trial in Canada. I'm assuming you have to be resident of Canada. My son has a duplication of exon 46 and I am very interested in CRISPr. Hope the US follows quickly with this technology.
