Diseases in Gene-Editing Clinical Trials
Conditions where gene editing is being tested in people, as distinct from being discussed.

These are conditions where editing has reached actual patients in registered trials. It is a much longer list than the approved one and a much shorter list than the diseases people expect CRISPR to solve.
