Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of gene editing, in particular to a CRISPR single-base repair system and its application in the treatment of β17 thalassemia genetic diseases caused by single gene point mutations. Background technique
[0002] β-thalassemia (β-thalassemia) is a disease caused by a decrease in or failure to synthesize the globin peptide chains that make up hemoglobin HbA (a2β2) due to mutations or deletions in the β-globin gene, resulting in an imbalance in the synthesis of a and β peptide chains. An autosomal recessive genetic disorder. The point mutation of β-thalassemia gene is often the most common, and the CD17(A→T) point mutation of β-globin gene is one of the earliest reported point mutations related to β-thalassemia disease.
[0003] Thalassemia is currently treated with lifelong blood transfusions, yet the vast majority of children die before adulthood despite aggressive treatment. Another treatment option is bone...
