Reversal of molecular pathology by RNA-targeting Cas9 in a myotonic dystrophy mouse model
2017-09-04
Abstract excerpt
The dominantly inherited, multi-systemic disease myotonic dystrophy type I (DM1) is caused by triplet repeat CTG expansions in the DMPK gene and is the most common form of adult-onset muscular dystrophy. Elimination of the toxic, repetitive CUG RNA constitutes a therapeutic for this disease. We report an RNA-targeting Cas9 (RCas9) system that supports efficient reversal of DM1 phenotypes via delivery to adult pol...
