UK approves world's first CRISPR gene-editing treatment for severe sickle cell disease.
The UK's National Health Service (NHS) has approved a £1.65 million gene-editing therapy, Casgevy (exa-cel), for patients with severe sickle cell disease.
The treatment, the first to use the gene-editing tool CRISPR, edits faulty genes in a patient's stem cells to produce healthy red blood cells.
Approved for around 50 patients annually, it offers hope for a potential cure and will be available at specialist centers in London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
This breakthrough could benefit about 1,700 individuals in the UK.
