In this particular case, they have used TALEN, but we have two additional gene editing techniques that show promise. Namely, - ZFN [2] - CRISPR [3] I have great hopes in all of them and in fact, my genetic condition [4] has already been fixed in-vitro using both mitoTALENs [5] and ZFN [6]. Exciting times for medicine. Too bad that we have a long, desperate bureaucratic burden ahead.
