Prime editing of the common Familial Dysautonomia-causing c.2204 + 6T > C splicing mutation.

Abstract excerpt

Familial Dysautonomia (FD, OMIM #223900) is a rare, life-threatening autosomal recessive neuropathy caused in 99.8% of patients by the c.2204 + 6T > C intronic mutation in the ELP1/IKAP gene. This substitution induces exon 20 skipping, leading to reduced ELP1 expression. While splicing-modulating therapies have shown partial efficacy, a permanent genetic correction remains unavailable. Here, we report the first...
