CRISPR-targeted genome editing of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived hepatocytes for the treatment of Wilson’s disease
29 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Background & Aims Wilson's disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism caused by loss-of-function mutations in ATP7B , which encodes a copper-transporting protein. It is characterized by excessive copper deposition in tissues, predominantly in the liver and brain. We sought to investigate whether gene-corrected patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived hepatocytes...
