Therapeutic adenine base editing corrects nonsense mutation and improves visual function in a mouse model of Leber congenital amaurosis

2021-01-08

Abstract excerpt

Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is an inherited retinal degeneration that causes severe visual dysfunction in children and adolescents. In patients with LCA, pathogenic variants are evident in specific genes, such as RPE65, which are related to the functions of retinal pigment epithelium and photoreceptors. Base editing confers a way to correct pathogenic substitutions without double-stranded breaks in contrast...
