CRISPR Cholesterol Breakthrough

A new gene-editing drug could effectively cure high cholesterol in certain patients via a one-time shot, according to results from a small clinical trial revealed Saturday. The treatment lowered “bad” cholesterol and triglycerides by about half with no apparent side effects after two months.  Cholesterol is a waxy substance that comes in two forms, low- and high-density lipoprotein (LDL and HDL), while triglycerides are energy stored as fat in the bloodstream. About 25% of cholesterol comes from diet, while the rest is produced by the liver and intestines. LDL cholesterol tends to adhere to blood vessel walls, causing plaque buildup and increasing the risk of heart disease. The new drug “turns off” a specific gene—ANGPTL3—responsible for producing LDL and triglycerides.  Around 1 in 300 people has a mutation that disables the gene, offering natural protection against heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US (see more).
