Despite the risks, there have been notable successes:
1. Sickle Cell Disease: Although not specific to gynecology, the successful application of CRISPR to treat conditions like sickle cell disease demonstrates the potential for similar successes in gynecological conditions.
2. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD): Before implanting embryos during in vitro fertilization (IVF), gene editing can be used to ensure that embryos are free from specific hereditary conditions.
