Two therapeutic CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing approaches revert FTD/ALS cellular pathology caused by a <i>C9orf72</i> repeat expansion mutation in patient derived cells
2022-05-21
Abstract excerpt
CRISPR gene editing holds promise to cure or arrest genetic disease, if we can find and implement curative edits reliably, safely and effectively. Expansion of a hexanucleotide repeat in C9orf72 is the leading known genetic cause of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We evaluated three approaches to editing the mutant C9orf72 gene for their ability to correct pathology in neur...
