Successful Gene Editing of Apolipoprotein E4 to E3 in Brain of Alzheimer Model Mice After a Single IV Dose of Synthetic Exosome-Delivered CRISPR
2024-04-28
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> The gene for apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4 E4) confers an increased risk for development and lowers the age of onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and is a highly suitable target for CRISPR-based editing because ApoE4 differs from ApoE3 by a single nucleotide polymorphism in the codon for residue 112 that codes for arginine (CGC) in E4 and cysteine (TGC) in E3. Editing of E4 to E3 could lower the ri...
