Abstract excerpt
A variety of single-gene human diseases are caused by haploinsufficiency, a genetic condition by which mutational inactivation of one allele leads to reduced protein levels and functional impairment. Translational enhancement of the spare allele could exert a therapeutic effect. Here we developed BOOST, a novel gene-editing approach to rescue haploinsufficiency loci by the change of specific single nucleotides in...
