The article doesn't explain what the unintended mutations might be..?
- deusofnull 7y agoit would be really really hard to figure that out at this point, most likely. again, like the article says, they cant investigate the embryo too fully without "destroying it". Same sorta goes for a kid. But if the unintended mutations manifest in a bad expression, you might be able to start researching in situ in labs with cell cultures with and without the gene present / expressing.

In other words, it sounds like every cell might have gotten it's own randomly selected garbage data... They seem to say only a single cell they measured got the correct mutation.
