10 to 15 years and with the crispr gene editing machine they’ll cure sz once and for all. Long time to wait, I know but it is better than nothing…

What about sz gene…it will be effective for all of us…
They have just begun with gene editing and it will take that long to identify all the genes that cause sz. It’s not just one gene like some diseases.

The advent of CRISPR has been timed perfectly with the recent neuroscience research boom. Over the past few years, scientists have been using gene sequencing to uncover genes that are important in brain development and in neurological diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease and schizophrenia. Whereas some neurodevelopmental disorders, like Fragile X Syndrome, are known to be caused by mutations in a single gene, diseases like schizophrenia involve many genes and are very complicated, so thousands of people had to be sequenced before scientists could figure out which genetic differences might be linked to the disease. Today, there are clues to the genes that might affect a number of disorders, like OCD, autism, and major depression. The next step is to figure out if disrupting these genes can cause any of these diseases. CRISPR seems to be the perfect technology to make this happen.
