Allele specific repair of splicing mutations in cystic fibrosis through AsCas12a genome editing

Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR chloride channel. Here, the authors develop a gene therapy approach using the programmable nuclease AsCas12a to correct a splicing mutation in CFTR, and show efficient repair of the mutation and recovery of CFTR function in patient-derived organoids...
