Contracting CAG/CTG repeats using the CRISPR-Cas9 nickase

The expansion of trinucleotide repeats has been linked to several neurodegenerative disorders. Here, the authors show that the CRISPR-Cas9 nuclease induces both expansions and contractions of the repeat region, whereas the nickase leads predominantly to contractions.
