A new pill that can correct faulty genes and cure some genetic illnesses, called PTC124, should be out in Britain within the next three years.

The new pill reportedly promises to be able to treat or help thousands of conditions, some of which are incurable, like muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis, The Times of London reported Monday.

The drug is in its final phase of clinical trials and could be licensed by 2009.
