How would CRISPR prevent MS? Autoimmune diseases seem a poor fit.

Maybe it wont help you if you developed MS, but it could help you before that.

MS seems to be caused by some unknown combination of environmental factors, and genetics.

You fix the bad genes, and you may become immune.

It occurs more often in females (who have a stronger immune system), than males. That being said, my father had it. I've always known my father as being ill, having MS.
