Our new episode is live: Everything you Need to Know About Genetic Testing. Genetic testing in our patients with Inborn Errors of Immunity is becoming more common and this episode will help listeners better understand how to incorporate this into their practice. Sarah Hendrickson, MD, PhD, walks us through who should consider testing, considerations in ordering the testing, the types of testing available and how to think through the results.

For the first time, researchers have used the CRISPR gene editor to repair a flawed gene in the human body. In a press release, the biotechnology company Beam Therapeutics announced it had given nine patients with a lung and liver disease called alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency an intravenous infusion of lipid nanoparticles. These particles contained instructions that let the body’s liver cells make a version of CRISPR designed to correct a single mutated base in a gene that produces the AAT protein. In people with AAT deficiency, the uncorrected gene causes the body to produce a flawed, toxic version of the AAT protein that harms the lungs’ ability to deal with inflammation and builds up in the liver.
