CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Excision of ALS/FTD-Causing Hexanucleotide Repeat Expansion in <i>C9ORF72</i> rescues major disease mechanisms <i>in vivo</i> and <i>in vitro</i>

2022-05-17

Abstract excerpt

A hexanucleotide repeat expansion (HRE) consisting of GGGGCC 24+ in the C9ORF72 gene is the most common genetic cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Both are fatal neurodegenerative diseases with no current approved treatments that significantly slow disease progression or extend life expectancy. Several hypotheses have emerged to explain how this HRE causes neuronal de...
