Abstract: The present disclosure provides nucleic acid molecules encoding an engineered antigen receptor, such as a chimeric antigen receptor or exogenous T cell receptor, and an inhibitory nucleic acid molecule, such as an RNA interference molecule. The present disclosure further relates to nucleic acids, DNA constructs, vectors, pharmaceutical compositions, genetically-modified cells, and methods of treatment that utilize the nucleic acid molecules of the invention.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses engineered nucleases which recognize and cleave a recognition sequence within the int22h-1 sequence of a Factor VIII gene. The present invention also encompasses methods of using such engineered nucleases to make genetically-modified cells, and the use of such cells in a pharmaceutical composition and in methods for treating hemophilia A. Further, the invention encompasses pharmaceutical compositions comprising engineered nuclease proteins, nucleic acids encoding engineered nucleases, or genetically-modified cells of the invention, and the use of such compositions for treating of hemophilia A.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are engineered nucleases that bind and cleave a recognition sequence within intron 1 of a transferrin gene, and methods of using such engineered nucleases to produce a genetically-modified eukaryotic cell comprising a modified transferrin gene. Further provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for treatment of a variety of conditions through expression of a polypeptide of interest encoded by an exogenous nucleic acid molecule inserted in intron 1 of a transferrin gene and expressed under the control of the endogenous transferrin promoter.

Abstract: The present invention provides a genetically-modified T cell comprising in its genome a modified human T cell receptor alpha gene. The modified T cell receptor alpha gene comprises an exogenous sequence of interest inserted into an intron within the T cell receptor alpha gene that is positioned 5? upstream of TRAC exon 1. The exogenous sequence of interest can comprise an exogenous splice acceptor site and/or a poly A signal, which disrupts expression of the T cell receptor alpha subunit. The sequence of interest can also include a coding sequence for a polypeptide, such as a chimeric antigen receptor. Additionally, the endogenous splice donor site and the endogenous splice acceptor site flanking the intron are unmodified and/or remain functional. The invention further provides compositions and methods for producing the genetically-modified cell, and populations of the cell, and methods for the treatment of a disease, such as cancer, using such cells.
