Therapeutic genome engineering: Implications for South Africa.

Abstract excerpt

South Africa encompasses extraordinary genetic diversity, frequently revealing unique mutations and variations associated with disease. Despite the advances of traditional gene therapy, our understanding of causative mutations in the South African population has, for the most part, contributed to diagnostic rather than therapeutic interventions. Recent developments in genome engineering and its ease of use have...
