When is gene therapy for color blindness avaible? I think it is the most soght gene therapy on this planet. It affected over 300 million people and we lost our dreams and we also have been waiting for it for so long time. It was claimed that could cure red green color blindness in monkey in 2009, but till know we dont have clue when it is approved in human trials. We hope you proffessors, doctors, biologists and all of medicine expertises., please give us a miracle and spirit when we open our eyes in every morning🙏🙏🙏😭

"The real question we focused in on was less about what was the cost of investment, what was the cost of manufacturing it, or cost of goods, but what was the value of sight in a child." - Jeff Marrazzo, Spark Therapeutics CEO
