A high-fidelity CRISPR-Cas13 system improves abnormalities associated with C9ORF72-linked ALS/FTD

Tristan X. McCallister, Colin K.W. Lim, Mayuri Singh…·Thomas Gaj

This study develops a high-fidelity CRISPR-Cas13 system that reduces C9ORF72 repeat RNA expression in a rodent model, decreasing RNA foci and reversing transcriptional deficits without affecting normal C9ORF72 levels.
