摘要: In contrast to traditional CRISPR–Cas9 homology-directed repair, base editing can correct point mutations without supplying a DNA-repair template. Here we show in mouse model of tyrosinaemia that hydrodynamic tail-vein injection plasmid DNA encoding the adenine editor (ABE) and single-guide RNA (sgRNA) an A>G splice-site mutation. ABE treatment partially restored splicing, generated fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH)-positive hepatocytes liver, rescued weight loss mice. We also FAH+ liver via lipid-nanoparticle-mediated delivery chemically modified sgRNA mRNA codon-optimized displayed higher base-editing efficiency than standard ABEs. Our findings suggest be used for correction genetic diseases adult animals. Intravenous Fah gene mutation tyrosinaemia.
