Here’s the latest accessible snapshot on gene knockouts.
If you’d like, I can pull a few recent, full-text summaries from specific journals or provide a concise timeline of key knockout milestones in the past 5 years. Please tell me your preferred focus (clinical implications, methodological advances, or a quick literature brief).

Naturally occurring human genetic variants provide “experiments of nature” that can directly inform on the function of human genes. In addition to providing novel insight into human biology, they can aid in the identification and validation of genes that would be powerful and well-tolerated targets for therapeutic inhibition in both rare and common diseases.

www.broadinstitute.orgSome people are naturally missing the working copy of a gene, the result of which can range from no effect at all to, occasionally, profound effects, such as very low cholesterol or congenital insensitivity to pain. Such significant, unusual medical characteristics are commonly referred to as “extreme phenotypes.” These extreme phenotypes and their underlying genetic causes represent, in a sense, experiments of nature that point the way toward a new understanding of disease, and potentially...
