In the study currently, they're looking at people who have very high cholesterol and who need cholesterol lowering long term.
So that includes people who have a genetically high cholesterol who are at risk of future heart disease.
There is a number of those patients in the trial at the moment.
So this is definitely for those people with a genetic problem.
But more importantly, it's also for people who might, for example, have had an early heart attack in life and need another 30, 40 years of cholesterol lowering in order to stop a second or third heart attack.
And for them, this will again be potentially transformative.
And it opens up the scope for using gene editing, not just for a rare condition, as we've heard in previous gene editing studies, but now for the first time for a very common problem with potentially many, many thousands of heart attacks that could be saved.
