Mutation-Agnostic Base Editing of the Progerin Farnesylation Site Rescues Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome Phenotypes in Neuromuscular Organoids
2025-10-16
Abstract excerpt
Hutchinson Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a fatal premature aging disorder caused by pathogenic farnesylated lamin A variants that disrupt nuclear architecture and DNA repair. Current therapies, including farnesyltransferase inhibitors, provide only modest survival benefits and lack molecular specificity, while mutation-specific genome-editing strategies cannot address atypical laminopathies. Here, we develop...
