  • Publication number: 20250290099
    Abstract: Methods for editing the genome of cells such as T cells and hematopoietic stem cells are disclosed. The methods include inserting a nucleic acid sequence of an exogenous partial open reading frame (ORF) of an autosomal dominant gene (e.g., CTLA4) into an intronic target region of an endogenous autosomal dominant gene in the cell, wherein the endogenous autosomal dominant gene comprises one or more disease-causing mutations; the exogenous partial ORF of the autosomal dominant gene is free of disease-causing mutations; and insertion of the exogenous partial ORF of the autosomal dominant gene into the intronic target region results in a modified autosomal dominant gene that encodes a protein which is free of disease-causing mutations. Methods for treating haploinsufficiency and methods for increasing gene editing efficiency are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240398862
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for modifying T cells. The disclosure is based, in part, on the use of sgRNA lentiviral infection with Cas9 protein electroporation (SLICE), to identify regulators of IL2RA, IL-2, CTLA4, arnd FOXP3 in effector T cells. IL2RA, IL-2, CTLA4, and FOXP3 are key genes in immune regulation that have been implicated in autoimmune disease and cancer. Therefore, modulating expression of these genes in T cells, for example, effector T cells or regulatory T cells, could have therapeutic applications.
