CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies hold considerable promise for the treatment of genetic diseases. Among these, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, caused by a point mutation in the LMNA gene, stands out as a potential candidate. Here, we explore the efficacy of a CRISPR/Cas9-based approach that reverts several alterations in Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome cells and mice by introducing frameshift mutations in the LMNA gene.
基于 CRISPR/Cas9 的疗法为治疗遗传疾病带来了巨大的希望。在这些疾病中,由 LMNA 基因突变引起的亨廷顿氏舞蹈症是一个潜在的候选疾病。在这里,我们探讨了一种基于 CRISPR/Cas9 的方法的疗效,该方法通过在 LMNA 基因中引入移码突变,纠正亨廷顿氏舞蹈症细胞和小鼠中的几种改变。
