We report the development of REMEDY (REpair of heterozygous Mutations independent of Exogenous Donor template with high efficiencY), a genome editing strategy that allows efficient repair of heterozygous mutations in human and mouse cells without necessitating an exogenous donor DNA template. Here, we used in-PAM or near-PAM CRISPR strategies to induce a double-strand break (DSB) in mutant alleles. Following the DSB, the wild-type homologous chromosome itself serves as an endogenous DNA donor template and initiates the correction of the mutant allele. Concurrently treating the cells with HDR enhancers, such as AZD7648, further improved the efficiency of the correction. We demonstrated the utility of REMEDY in the context of six different diseases with heterozygous mutations such as IBMPFD, cystic fibrosis, progeria, ITPR3-associated combined immunodeficiency, ACTA1, and TBCD in human patient derived primary cells and complementary mouse model cell lines.

"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.
