   The FDA just approved a gene therapy treatment which is apparently the first approved treatment that actually corrects a genetic defect. The big issue is likely to be price. The expectation is something on the order of $1 million. Some info here: https://www.npr.org/sections/health...erapy-for-inherited-disease-gets-fda-approval

   Although it may not be an inherited disease, but earlier this year, the FDA has approved the first-ever gene therapy for leukemia. The quoted cost per patient was $475,000.
