Abstract excerpt
Over 70 mutations in the transforming growth factor beta-induced (TGFBI) gene are associated with corneal dystrophies that impair vision. The R555W hotspot mutation is a major cause of granular corneal dystrophy type 1 (GCD1). Here, we evaluated the technical feasibility of CRISPR/Cas9-mediated editing of the R555W mutation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) obtained from a patient with GCD1. Three...
