Thanks for the link. There’s one in there as well for the trial which is cool. I think I might pass this on to someone I follow who specialises in this area and see feedback. Considering they’re targeting mRNA in this trial and dna in others, it’s astonishing to see comment of 3-5 years for availability after a “successful trial”. Extremely cavalier. As a Brit and seeing some of the BSE mess (note it was probably worse in France but for some reason never made the headlines), I understand the desire for speed but considering the timing with current evidence slowly coming out that we have a potential new prion problem post 2021. It’s a little unnerving to see such a short follow up. Maybe am a little conservative and if only used in people suffering obvious disease, it’s a good thing. It’s a damned thought to diagnose early though 

 A clinical trial is supposed to take 10 years, not 3-5. 

But all involved sign up by choice… 🤷‍♀️ 

And if you’ve ever seen it, you would take the drug too. 

There is still no true clinical diagnosis if I’m not mistaken (other than autopsy). 

This is why us genetic folks are at the forefront of research. 

It’s usually not reported on much since it’s complicated. When it is, it’s usually the tired tropes of „one in a million” and that it is so-called „rare” 

The Science reporter did a superb job in reporting.
