Tests suggest scientists achieved 1st ‘in body’ gene editing

Scientists think they have achieved the first gene editing inside the body, altering DNA in adults to try to treat a disease.
Preliminary results released Thursday suggest that two men with a rare disorder now have a corrective gene at very low levels. That might not be enough to make the therapy a success; it’s too soon to know.
But this scientific milestone fuels hope that doctoring genes may someday allow treatment of many inherited diseases.
The studies are testing gene editing in adul
