Well the CRISPR/Cas9 cuts DNA as if it were scissors so theres your DNA damage.... So its in its early stages and cutting a bit off mark in a sloppy way. They'll improve it in time.

"However, during these experiments CRISPR caused deletions or rearrangements more than 100 DNA letters long in around a fifth of cells. These mutations happened in some cases several thousand DNA bases away from the target site."
