Long-term stable reduction of low-density lipoprotein in nonhuman primates following in vivo genome editing of PCSK9
21 Feb 2021
Abstract excerpt
Gene disruption via programmable, sequence-specific nucleases represents a promising gene therapy strategy in which the reduction of specific protein levels provides a therapeutic benefit. Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9), an antagonist of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor, is a suitable target for nuclease-mediated gene disruption as an approach to treat hypercholesterolemia. We...
