A 19-year-old with a rare immune disorder became the first cured using prime editing, a new gene therapy.
A 19-year-old man from Kelowna, B.C., has become the first person cured of chronic granulomatous disease, a rare genetic immune disorder, using prime editing, a new gene-editing technique.
The treatment, developed by Prime Medicine and tested in a Montreal clinical trial, corrected the faulty gene in the patient’s own cells, which were then reintroduced, eliminating the need for daily antibiotics and antifungals.
The procedure, reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, marks a milestone in precision medicine and offers hope for treating other rare genetic diseases.
