Abstract:Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a group of monogenic primary immunodeficiencies caused by mutations in genes involved in the process of lymphocyte maturation and function. CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing of the patient's own hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) ex vivo could provide a therapeutic alternative to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), the current gold standard for treatment of SCID. Using CRISPR-Cas9/rAAV6 gene-editing, we engineered genotypes in healthy donor … Show more
