Abstract excerpt
Small molecule drugs known as modulators can treat ~90% of people with cystic fibrosis (CF), but do not work for premature termination codon variants such as W1282X (c.3846G>A). Here we evaluated two gene editing strategies, Adenine Base Editing (ABE) to correct W1282X, and Homology-Independent Targeted Integration (HITI) of a CFTR superexon comprising exons 23-27 (SE23-27) to enable expression of a CFTR mRNA...
