How possible is it that a cure will be found?

Cures are possible. Scientists have found a drug that cures Duchenne Muscular Dystorphy in mice. This shows hope that it can also happen to people. The drug has been studied to be safe and effective. Lee Sweeny, chairman of physiology at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, says, "In addition to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy — a prevalent, rapidly worsening form of the disorder — the drug has the potential to cure a host of genetic diseases caused by the same mutation."
