The Importance of CRISPR in Genetic Diseases
The way CRISPR works is that for genetic diseases, it could be genetically inherited. So an example of that could be hemophilia. And so that would be... It's an X-linked genetic alteration. Yep. Because females have two Xs, they generally ... If they were to have this faulty gene, they have the backup to overcome it. What would you carry? To overcome it. Yes.
