Human genetic polymorphisms result in a diversity of phenotypes. Some sequences are pathologic and lead to monogenic diseases, while others may confer beneficial traits. Genome editing is a powerful tool to recreate genotypes found in the population, including the ability to correct pathologic mutations. One of the best characterized naturally occurring mutations causing congenital erythrocytosis arises from a truncation in the erythropoietin receptor (tEPOR) which can result in non-pathogenic hyper-production of red blood cells (RBCs). Using the precision of CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, we have recreated tEPOR and studied the effect of variations of the genotype on RBC development. We then combined tEPOR with a correction strategy developed for {beta}-thalassemia and demonstrated that coupling the two genome editing events gave RBCs a significant selective advantage. This demonstrates the potential of combining human genetics with the precision of genome editing to enable safer and more effective genome editing therapies for patients with serious genetic diseases.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
