Summary Introduction

To review:

Both CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) technology and antisense ribonucleic acid (RNA) technologies are used in blocking the gene expression. Determine the advantage of using CRISPR technology over antisense RNA technology,

Introduction:

Change in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences or any mutation causes an alteration in the proteins. The cause-and-effect relationship in proteins can be demonstrated by mutation. Alteration of protein can be stopped by inactivating specific genes. It can be done using antisense RNA and CRISPR technology.

Briefly and in simple terms, describe how CRISPR could be utilized in treating genetic conditions such as Batten disease.
Consider the following human genetic diseases: hemophilia, Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and brain cancer. Which are the best candidates for treatment with CRISPR-Cas genome editing, and which have the largest hurdles to overcome? Why?
Besides the great potential of gene editing, what are the biggest risks?  How do scientist test to ensure their gene editing experiments target only the desired specific genes?
