Dual-targeting CRISPR-CasRx reduces <i>C9orf72</i> ALS/FTD sense and antisense repeat RNAs in vitro and in vivo
2024-01-28
Abstract excerpt
The most common genetic cause of both frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a G 4 C 2 repeat expansion in intron 1 of the C9orf72 gene. This repeat expansion undergoes bidirectional transcription to produce sense and antisense repeat RNA species. Both sense and antisense-derived repeat RNAs undergo repeat-associated non-AUG translation in all reading frames to generate five di...
