Abstract:The first approach is aimed at approximately 26% of patients that have point mutations in DMD gene. Here we used gene editing to correct DMD E2035X, a pathogenic mutation in DMD patient myoblasts by designing short RNA sequences complementary to the locus called guides, paired with the Streptococcus pyogenes Cas9. We were able to generate targeted double stranded DNA breaks that were corrected through homology directed repair using single stranded oligos carrying the corrected DNA sequence. Other pathogenic DM… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
