Abstract excerpt
The treatment of dominantly inherited retinal diseases requires silencing of the pathogenic allele. RNA interference to suppress gene expression suffers from wide-spread off-target effects, while CRISPR-mediated gene disruption creates permanent changes in the genome. CRISPR interference uses a catalytically inactive 'dead' Cas9 directed by a guide RNA to block transcription of chosen genes without disrupting the...
