Researchers have created a new gene-editing method that may help treat many rare genetic diseases

The technique works by helping cells read past “stop” signals in genes

Lab tests showed restored protein function in models of numerous diseases

FRIDAY, Nov. 21, 2025 (HealthDay News) — A new gene-editing strategy may one day help many people with rare genetic diseases.

In a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature , researchers say this new approach could make future treatments easier and less costly to develop, especially for conditions caused by a certain type of genetic error.

"We are purposefully forgoing what is the most obvious way to treat a patient — fix their individual mutation back to the normal sequence," senior author David Liu , a biologist a
