Abstract
CRISPR/Cas9-based therapies hold considerable promise for the treatment of genetic diseases. Among these, Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, caused by a point mutation in the LMNAgene, stands out as a potential candidate. Here, we explore the efficacy of a CRISPR/Cas9-based approach that reverts several alterations in Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome cells and mice by introducing frameshift mutations in the LMNAgene.
