Sequence-Specific Suppression of Alleles Causing Dominantly Inherited Retinal Degeneration Using the RNA-Guided Nuclease Cas9

Background: Dominant mutations account for a substantial proportion of inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs) through haploinsufficiency or gain-of-function (GOF) effects. This work explores a potential strategy to treat diseases caused by dominant GOF mutations by specifically suppressing the fun...
