Abstract excerpt
Autologous cell replacement therapy for inherited metabolic disorders requires the correction of the underlying genetic mutation in patient's cells. An unexplored alternative for females affected from X-linked diseases is the clonal selection of cells randomly silencing the X-chromosome containing the mutant allele, without in vivo or ex vivo genome editing. In this report, we have isolated dermal fibroblasts...
