A new gene-editing method tags fragile X mutation for repair

Illustration of a fragile X syndrome chromosome.

Minimization of mutations: Promoting the formation of specialized loops in the genome may help remove the genetic repeats associated with fragile X syndrome. THOM LEACH / Scientific Source Hun-Goo Lee didn’t set out to discover a new way to potentially treat fragile X syndrome. He just wanted to solve a mystery: why do some … Read more
