CRISPR-based lipid lowering redefines laboratory medicine's role in gene editing era

This Clinical Chemistry piece examines how CRISPR-based interventions for permanent lipid lowering are reshaping the landscape of laboratory medicine. As gene editing therapies targeting lipid pathways move toward clinical reality, clinical laboratories will need to adapt monitoring strategies and develop new assays to support this therapeutic paradigm shift.
