CRISPR-Cas9 targeted deletion of the <i>C9orf72</i> repeat expansion mutation corrects cellular phenotypes in patient-derived iPS cells
2016-05-02
Abstract excerpt
The large hexanucleotide (GGGGCC) repeat expansion in the non-coding promoter region of C9orf72 is the leading cause of Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration are not clear, and both a C9orf72 loss of function and a gain of toxicity, in the form of RNA foci or dipeptide repeat deposition, are implicated. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspace...
