CHOP & Penn Medicine have delivered the first-ever personalized gene editing therapy for a patient with CPS1 deficiency, marking a major milestone in the application of CRISPR-based treatments. Learn more about KJ & the future of personalized medicine: ms.spr.ly/6015SZLAx.




A baby named KJ, who was born with a rare genetic disorder – CPS1 deficiency – is healed thanks to doctors at the Children's Hospital who administered the world’s first personalized gene-editing treatment. The research team used base editing, a gene-editing method invented by HHMI


Never could I have imagined that ABE would someday enable such a transformative outcome for a child. Thank you Kiran Musunuru, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, and KJ’s family for having the courage to demonstrate to the world what is possible. Incredible. 💕 nytimes.com/2025/05/15/hea… via
