Gene-editing techniques are expanding horizons in the treatment of incurable diseases. Now, researchers from US and UK are suggesting an alternative treatment involving gene-edited sheep for the fatal infantile brain disorder called Batten's disease. It is a neurodegenerative, lysosomal storage disorder that affects the brain and retina in children. The inheritance pattern of the disease is classified as autosomal recessive.
