What are the benefits of using CRISPR in humans?

There are various benefits to using CRISPR in humans. The technology was developed to treat diseases caused by genetic mutations, such as cancer and genetic disorders. Additionally, CRISPR-based approaches are being investigated in preclinical studies for other single-gene disorders such as sickle cell anemia and cystic fibrosis. CRISPR also enables highly targeted modifications to the genome, allowing for personalized treatments made for individual patients based on their specific genetic makeup.
