Abstract excerpt
CRISPR-Cas9 provides a tool to treat autosomal dominant disease by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) gene disruption of the mutant allele. In order to discriminate between wild-type and mutant alleles, Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9 (SpCas9) must be able to detect a single nucleotide change. Allele-specific editing can be achieved by using either a guide-specific approach, in which the missense mutation is found...
