  • Publication number: 20230069642
    Abstract: Provided are compositions and methods used for precise template-free correction of BRCA1 mutation in human cells via genome editing. The method involves modifying DNA that includes a BRCA1-5382-InsC mutation by introducing into cells comprising the BRCA1-5382-InsC a Cas enzyme and a guide RNA. A guide RNA that produces improved results relative to other guide RNAs is provided. Also provided are modified stem cells that contain an introduced BRCA1-5382-InsC mutation.

  • Publication number: 20220195457
    Abstract: Provided are therapeutic virus vectors, particularly, recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors, designed to contain an enhancer sequence that specifically restricts expression of an effector gene (e.g., an SCN1A-encoding polynucleotide, Gq-DREADD-encoding polynucleotide, or PSAM-encoding polynucleotide) contained in the vector to PV-expressing GABAergic interneuron or to neuron cell populations in the brain. The rAAV vectors, compositions and methods thereof are useful for treating subjects afflicted with neuropathologies, seizures, pharmacologically-intractable forms of epilepsy including Dravet syndrome (DS), a form of infantile epilepsy associated with severe seizures, cognitive impairment and premature death, as the cause of DS involves loss of function of a sodium channel encoded by the SCN1A gene.
