Fabdou: Funny you should mention this. We just commenced a study of the possibility of using Sangamo's ZFPs to treat and possibly cure CMT. I should have more info on this in the next few weeks. Initially, Sangamo's existing drug, SB-509, seems like it could have applicability to treat CMT. Further, the ZFP technology seems to have the potential to permanently cure mono-genetic diseases such as CMT. But that application is probably years away. I'll report back when I know more.
