Abstract

The study investigates the application of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing technology in treating muscular dystrophy. By targeting specific gene mutations that cause the disease, researchers aim to correct these genetic errors at the molecular level. This paper reviews recent experiments and clinical trials that showcase the gene-editing technique's potential in restoring muscle function and slowing disease progression. Ethical considerations, technological challenges, and the future implications of gene editing in personalized medicine are discussed, providing insights into this groundbreaking approach to genetic disorders.
