Abstract excerpt
Here, we report highly efficient functional repair of the ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) locus in mutant mouse and human hepatocytes in vivo using a dual adeno-associated virus system delivering CRISPR-Cas9 editing reagents and a promoterless donor for targeted integration. The approach was mutation agnostic and targeted intronic sequences to prevent inadvertent inactivation of hypomorphic alleles. Notably, in...
