Engineered CRISPR-Base Editors as a Permanent Treatment for Familial Dysautonomia
2024-11-27
Abstract excerpt
Familial dysautonomia (FD) is a fatal autosomal recessive sensory and autonomic neuropathy. FD is caused by a T-to-C point mutation in intron 20 of the Elongator acetyltransferase complex subunit 1 ( ELP1 ) gene, which results in tissue-specific skipping of exon 20 to cause a premature termination codon and thus redues ELP1 protein levels. Here, we developed a CRISPR-Cas-based cytosine base editing strategy to p...
