Are there any approved Crispr therapies?
Beam Therapeutics has regulatory approval to move forward with another SCD trial aimed at increasing fetal hemoglobin. Beam uses base editing, a form of CRISPR editing that works without double-stranded DNA breaks and which therefore may be safer than conventional CRISPR.
Is Crispr FDA approved?

Can CRISPR cure blindness?
The world’s first attempt to use the CRISPR gene-editing tool to treat blindness is showing hints of success, researchers reported today at a vision conference. Of six people who received the therapy starting in March 2020, two can now better sense light, and one of those can now navigate a maze in dim light.
