  2. WY-car IS GENE/9EffOME EDITING? Functions(SCOPE): Permanent repair of the underlying disease- causing mutation. Specific beneficial change at the intended genomic site (e.g. ß-globin gene) without impacting remainder of genome.

Cas9 creates a double strand break (DSB) in the genome . DSB occurs on both strands, 3 base pairs upstream of the PAM. DSB is repaired by either NHEJ or HR tracrRNA: trans-activating CRISPR RNA (tracrRNA) PAM: Protospacer Adjacent Motif
  6. CRJSQR/Cas9 system in Cf CF is an autosomal recessive disorder. CFTR mutation at position 508 in exon 11, secretions are thin. Cl affects lungs and intestine Forskolin activates CFTR, leading to fluid secretion into the lumen and swelling of organoids.

The vision: mimicking common protective genetic variation_for therapeutic benefit (PROS: Loss of (BCLIIA expression in red blood cells causing increased fetal hemoglobin Spares (BCLIIA expression in other blood cells Modification would be permanent Survival advantage of cells (would outcompete unmodified cells) Compared to gene addition, no semi-random insertion of material into the genome, and no need for lifelong expression of foreign sequences
  8. COWS Of EffOME EDITIN Genome modification at sites other than the intended target (Preparation ("conditioning") therapy for stem cell transplant (shared rise of both gene addition and genome editing; potentially much less toxic than for "allotransplant " from related or unrelated donor)
