Restoration of Osteogenesis by CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing of the Mutated COL1A1 Gene in Osteogenesis Imperfecta
16 Jul 2021
Abstract excerpt
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a genetic disease characterized by bone fragility and repeated fractures. The bone fragility associated with OI is caused by a defect in collagen formation due to mutation of COL1A1 or COL1A2. Current strategies for treating OI are not curative. In this study, we generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from OI patient-derived blood cells harboring a mutation in the COL1A1...
