Camurati-Engelmann Disease: A Case Report
Among the genetic causes of osteosclerosis, Camurati-Engelmann disease is a rare entity. Bhadada et al. have recently reported the first Indian family with genetic confirmation of Camurati- Engelmann Disease (CED) (Bhadada et al., 2014). Here we describe another case of CED with molecular confirmation

How Far Have We Progressed in Cutting and Pasting the Genome
CRISPR/cas9 was proposed to have the ability to correct disease- causing mutations by gene editing. Previous studies done showed that the efficacy of homology directed repair (HDR) was only 10% when CRISPR/ cas9 was used in triploid human embryos. In this study, the authors have performed cas9-mediated gene
