How is Gene Editing Applied in Gynecology?

Gene editing is applied in several key areas within gynecology:
1. Hereditary Cancer Syndromes: Conditions like Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer (HBOC) syndrome, often caused by mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, can potentially be corrected through gene editing.
2. Infertility Treatments: Genetic editing can help address certain causes of infertility. For example, correcting mutations in the CFTR gene can alleviate infertility issues in women with cystic fibrosis.
3. Endometriosis: Gene editing could offer new insights and treatments for endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus grows outside it, causing pain and infertility.
