Scientists Edit Heart Muscle Gene in Stem Cells, May Be Able to Predict Risk

June 19, 2018

(CNN) – In our human genome, there are many elusive genetic variants related to medical conditions, but the impact of these variants to actually cause a disease has not been conclusively determined — or ruled out.  In other words, the impact certain variants could have on your health remains a guessing game. But a new study involving the gene-editing tool CRISPR could change that.
