REFERENCE TO SEQUENCE LISTING The sequence listing submitted on February 24th, 2025, as an .XML file entitled “10935- 034WO1_ST26” created on February 20th, 2025, and having a file size of 168,457 bytes is hereby incorporated by reference pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 1.52(e)(5). FIELD The present disclosure relates methods of using CRISPR / Cas systems to repair heterozygous mutations using an endogenous DNA template. BACKGROUND Heterozygous mutations are the type of mutations that affect either single allele in an autosomal dominant inheritance, or both alleles in a biallelic autosomal recessive inheritance. These mutations can be corrected by using CRISPR via homology-directed repair (HDR) using an exogenous DNA template. Introducing exogenous HDR templates into the cells via electroporation, infection, lipofection or by viral delivery approaches can cause cell death, loss of regenerative potential and low editing efficiency and adds additional manufacturing and financial burdens. Therefore, there is a need to develop a novel approach to edit heterozygous mutations independent of an exogenous DNA donor template.

The following definitions are provided for the full understanding of terms used in this specification. Ranges can be expressed herein as from “about” one particular value, and / or to “about” another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and / or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent “about,” it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint. It is also understood that there are a number of values disclosed herein, and that each value is also herein disclosed as “about” that particular value in addition to the value itself. For example, if the value “10” is disclosed, then “about 10” is also disclosed. It is also understood that when a value is disclosed that “less than or equal to” the value, “greater than or equal to the value” and possible ranges between values are also disclosed, as appropriately understood by the skilled artisan.

An "increase" can refer to any change that results in a greater amount of a symptom, disease, composition, condition, or activity. An increase can be any individual, median, or average increase in a condition, symptom, activity, composition in a statistically significant amount. Thus, the increase can be a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100% or more increase so long as the increase is statistically significant. A "decrease" can refer to any change that results in a smaller amount of a symptom, disease, composition, condition, or activity. A substance is also understood to decrease the genetic output of a gene when the genetic output of the gene product with the substance is less relative to Docket No.10935-034WO1 the output of the gene product without the substance. Also, for example, a decrease can be a change in the symptoms of a disorder such that the symptoms are less than previously observed. A decrease can be any individual, median, or average decrease in a condition, symptom, activity, composition in a statistically significant amount. Thus, the decrease can be a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100%, or more decrease so long as the decrease is statistically significant. “Composition” refers to any agent that has a beneficial biological effect. Beneficial biological effects include both therapeutic effects, e.g., treatment of a disease, a disorder, or other undesirable physiological condition, and prophylactic effects, e.g., prevention of a disease, a disorder, or other undesirable physiological condition. The terms also encompass pharmaceutically acceptable, pharmacologically active derivatives of beneficial agents specifically mentioned herein, including, but not limited to, a vector, polynucleotide, cells, salts, esters, amides, proagents, active metabolites, isomers, fragments, analogs, and the like. When the term “composition” is used, then, or when a particular composition is specifically identified, it is to be understood that the term includes the composition per se as well as pharmaceutically acceptable, pharmacologically active vector, polynucleotide, salts, esters, amides, proagents, conjugates, active metabolites, isomers, fragments, analogs, etc. A “therapeutic composition” refers to at least one substance, molecule, or compound suitable for administering to a subject, wherein the composition further includes a pharmaceutical carrier. A non-limiting example include a therapeutic composition comprises a nucleobase-poly- amino acid carrier and a sterile water-based solution. "Inhibit," "inhibiting," and "inhibition" mean to decrease an activity, response, condition, disease, or other biological parameter. This can include but is not limited to the complete ablation of the activity, response, condition, or disease. This may also include, for example, a 10% reduction in the activity, response, condition, or disease as compared to the native or control level. Thus, the reduction can be a 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100%, or any amount of reduction below, above, or in between the given ranges as compared to native or control levels. By “reduce” or other forms of the word, such as “reducing” or “reduction,” means lowering of an event or characteristic (e.g., tumor growth). It is understood that this is typically in relation to some standard or expected value, in other words it is relative, but that it is not always necessary for the standard or relative value to be referred to. For example, “reduces tumor growth” means reducing the rate of growth of a tumor relative to a standard or a control. By “prevent” or other forms of the word, such as “preventing” or “prevention,” is meant to stop a particular event or characteristic, to stabilize or delay the development or progression of Docket No.10935-034WO1 a particular event or characteristic, or to minimize the chances that a particular event or characteristic will occur. Prevent does not require comparison to a control as it is typically more absolute than, for example, reduce. As used herein, something could be reduced but not prevented, but something that is reduced could also be prevented. Likewise, something could be prevented but not reduced, but something that is prevented could also be reduced. It is understood that where reduce or prevent are used, unless specifically indicated otherwise, the use of the other word is also expressly disclosed. The terms “treat,” “treating,” and grammatical variations thereof as used herein, include partially or completely delaying, alleviating, mitigating or reducing the intensity of one or more attendant symptoms of a disorder or condition and / or alleviating, mitigating or impeding one or more causes of a disorder or condition. Treatments according to the disclosure may be applied preventively, prophylactically, palliatively or remedially. Treatments are administered to a subject prior to onset (e.g., before obvious signs of any disease disclosed herein), during early onset (e.g., upon initial signs and symptoms of any disease disclosed herein), or after an established development of any disease disclosed herein. The term “subject” refers to any individual who is the target of administration or treatment. The subject can be a vertebrate, for example, a mammal. In one aspect, the subject can be human, non-human primate, bovine, equine, porcine, canine, or feline. The subject can also be a guinea pig, rat, hamster, rabbit, mouse, or mole. Thus, the subject can be a human or veterinary patient. The term “patient” refers to a subject under the treatment of a clinician, e.g., physician. The term “therapeutically effective amount” refers to the amount of the composition used is of sufficient quantity to ameliorate one or more causes or symptoms of a disease or disorder. Such amelioration only requires a reduction or alteration, not necessarily elimination. The term “treatment” refers to the medical management of a patient with the intent to cure, ameliorate, stabilize, or prevent a disease, pathological condition, or disorder. This term includes active treatment, that is, treatment directed specifically toward the improvement of a disease, pathological condition, or disorder, and also includes causal treatment, that is, treatment directed toward removal of the cause of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder. In addition, this term includes palliative treatment, that is, treatment designed for the relief of symptoms rather than the curing of the disease, pathological condition, or disorder; preventative treatment, that is, treatment directed to minimizing or partially or completely inhibiting the development of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder; and supportive treatment, that is, treatment employed to supplement another specific therapy directed toward the improvement of the associated disease, pathological condition, or disorder. Docket No.10935-034WO1 "Comprising" is intended to mean that the compositions, methods, etc. include the recited elements, but do not exclude others. "Consisting essentially of'' when used to define compositions and methods, shall mean including the recited elements, but excluding other elements of any essential significance to the combination. Thus, a composition consisting essentially of the elements as defined herein would not exclude trace contaminants from the isolation and purification method and pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, such as phosphate buffered saline, preservatives, and the like. "Consisting of'' shall mean excluding more than trace elements of other ingredients and substantial method steps for administering the compositions provided and / or claimed in this disclosure. Embodiments defined by each of these transition terms are within the scope of this disclosure. The term “administer,” “administering”, or derivatives thereof refer to delivering a composition, substance, inhibitor, or medication to a subject or object by one or more the following routes: oral, topical, intravenous, subcutaneous, transcutaneous, transdermal, intramuscular, intra-joint, parenteral, intra-arteriole, intradermal, intraventricular, intracranial, intraperitoneal, intralesional, intranasal, rectal, vaginal, by inhalation or via an implanted reservoir. The term “parenteral” includes subcutaneous, intravenous, intramuscular, intra- articular, intra-synovial, intrasternal, intrathecal, intrahepatic, intralesional, and intracranial injections or infusion techniques. A "gene" refers to a polynucleotide containing at least one open reading frame that is capable of encoding a particular polypeptide or protein after being transcribed and translated. Any of the polynucleotides sequences described herein may be used to identify larger fragments or full-length coding sequences of the gene with which they are associated. A “chromosome” refers to a long DNA molecule comprising part or all of the genetic material of an organism. Most chromosomes comprise very long thin DNA strands coated with packaging proteins, including but not limited to histone proteins and other chaperone proteins, critical for binding and condensing the DNA strands into the tightly compacted chromosome structures. Such chromosomes are formed to maintain and preserve genetic stability and integrity. A “chromatid” refers to a complex of DNA and protein found in eukaryotic cells whose primary function is to package long DNA molecules into more compact, denser structures. This prevents the DNA strands from becoming tangled and plays additional roles in reinforcing the DNA during cell division, preventing DNA damage, and regulating gene expression and DNA replication. The primary protein components of chromatin are histone proteins comprising an octamer of two set of four histone core proteins (Histone H2A, Histone H2B, Histone H3, and Histone H4) binding to DNA and function as anchors around which the strands are wound. In Docket No.10935-034WO1 general, there are three levels of chromatin organization: 1) DNA wraps around histone proteins, forming nucleosomes also referred to as the “beads on a string” structure; 2) Multiple histones wrap into small (about 30 nanometer long) fiber comprising nucleosome arrays in the most compact form; and 3) Higher-level DNA supercoiling of the small fibers of structure 2) to form the final chromosomal structure. As used herein, an “allele” refers to one of two or more versions of a genetic sequence at a particular region on a chromosome. An individual inherits two alleles for every gene, one from each parent, that is one allele comes from the biological mother and another allele comes from the biological father, thus creating two copies of every gene. “Heterozygous” refers to having two different versions of a gene for a particular trait (such as, for example eye color, hair color, etc.), wherein each version is inherited from a parent. That is, one gene is inherited from the biological mother and a different version of the same gene is inherited from the biological father. A non-limiting example includes an individual that is heterozygous for eye color if they have both “E” and “e” alleles, wherein “E” encodes the brown eye color and “e” encodes blue eye color. “Homozygous” refers to having identical copies of the same gene for a particular trait (such as, for example eye color, hair color, etc.), wherein both copies are inherited from a parent. That is, the same version of the gene is inherited from a parent, wherein one allele is inherited from the biological mother and the same allele is inherited from the biological father. As used herein, a “mutation” refers to changing the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to later generations. A mutation is caused by the alteration of single nucleotides in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes. A mutation can lead to the expression of a protein that has been changed physically or functionally leading to lethality, non-lethal dysfunction effects, or no effects. A “mutated gene” is a gene that has been altered through human intervention. Such a “mutated gene” has a sequence that differs from the sequence of the corresponding non- mutated gene by at least one nucleotide addition, deletion, or substitution. As used herein, “wild-type” refers to the genetic and physical characteristics of the typical form of a species as it occurs in nature. A wild-type or wild type characteristic is conceptualized as a product of the standard “normal” allele at a gene locus, in contrast to that produced by a non- standard “mutant” allele. As used herein a “viral vector” refers to a tool used in molecular biology to deliver genetic material (including DNA, RNA, and any other nucleic acid variations thereof) into a cell. This process is performed either inside a living organism or in cell culture. The viral genome is Docket No.10935-034WO1 engineered to incorporate a desired gene or gene product, and following transduction, or transfer, of the virus into the host, said gene or gene product is expressed within the host. A “nucleotide” is a compound consisting of a nucleoside, which consists of a nitrogenous base and a 5-carbon sugar, linked to a phosphate group forming the basic structural unit of nucleic acids, such as DNA or RNA. The four types of nucleotides are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T), each of which are bound together by a phosphodiester bond to form a nucleic acid molecule. A “nucleic acid” is a chemical compound that serves as the primary information-carrying molecules in cells and make up the cellular genetic material. Nucleic acids comprise nucleotides, which are the monomers made of a 5-carbon sugar (usually ribose or deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. A nucleic acid can also be a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or a ribonucleic acid (RNA). A chimeric nucleic acid comprises two or more of the same kind of nucleic acid fused together to form one compound comprising genetic material. By the term “endogenous” it is meant a sequence or other molecule that naturally occurs in a cell or organism. In one aspect, an endogenous polynucleotide is normally found in the genome of a cell; that is, not heterologous. The terms “percent identity” and “% identity,” as applied to polynucleotide sequences, refer to the percentage of residue matches between at least two polynucleotide sequences aligned using a standardized algorithm. Such an algorithm may insert, in a standardized and reproducible way, gaps in the sequences being compared in order to optimize alignment between two sequences, and therefore achieve a more meaningful comparison of the two sequences. Percent identity for a nucleic acid sequence may be determined as understood in the art. (See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No.7,396,664, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety). A suite of commonly used and freely available sequence comparison algorithms is provided by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) (Altschul, S. F. et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol.215:403410), which is available from several sources, including the NCBI, Bethesda, Md., at its website. The BLAST software suite includes various sequence analysis programs including “blastn,” that is used to align a known polynucleotide sequence with other polynucleotide sequences from a variety of databases. Also available is a tool called “BLAST 2 Sequences” that is used for direct pairwise comparison of two nucleotide sequences. “BLAST 2 Sequences” can be accessed and used interactively at the NCBI website. The “BLAST 2 Sequences” tool can be used for both blastn and blastp (discussed above). A “variant,” “mutant,” or “derivative” of a particular nucleic acid sequence may be defined as a nucleic acid sequence having at least 50% sequence identity to the particular nucleic acid Docket No.10935-034WO1 sequence over a certain length of one of the nucleic acid sequences using blastn with the “BLAST 2 Sequences” tool available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information's website. (See Tatiana A. Tatusova, Thomas L. Madden (1999), “Blast 2 sequences—a new tool for comparing protein and nucleotide sequences”, FEMS Microbiol Lett.174:247-250). In some embodiments a variant polynucleotide may show, for example, at least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, or at least 99% or greater sequence identity over a certain defined length relative to a reference polynucleotide. As used herein, the term “guide polynucleotide”, relates to a polynucleotide sequence that can form a complex with a Cas endonuclease, including the Cas endonuclease described herein, and enables the Cas endonuclease to recognize, optionally bind to, and optionally cleave a DNA target site. The guide polynucleotide sequence can be a RNA sequence, a DNA sequence, or a combination thereof (a RNA-DNA combination sequence). A “pharmaceutically effective amount” of a drug necessary to achieve a therapeutic effect may vary according to factors such as the age, sex, and weight of the subject. Dosage regimens can be adjusted to provide the optimum therapeutic response. For example, several divided doses may be administered daily, or the dose may be proportionally reduced as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. "Pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" (sometimes referred to as a “carrier”) means a carrier or excipient that is useful in preparing a pharmaceutical or therapeutic composition that is generally safe and non-toxic, and includes a carrier that is acceptable for veterinary and / or human pharmaceutical or therapeutic use. The terms "carrier" or "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" can include, but are not limited to, phosphate buffered saline solution, water, emulsions (such as an oil / water or water / oil emulsion) and / or various types of wetting agents. As used herein, the term “carrier” encompasses any excipient, diluent, filler, salt, buffer, stabilizer, solubilizer, lipid, stabilizer, or other material well known in the art for use in pharmaceutical formulations. The choice of a carrier for use in a composition will depend upon the intended route of administration for the composition. The preparation of pharmaceutically acceptable carriers and formulations containing these materials is described in, e.g., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 21st Edition, ed. University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, Philadelphia, PA, 2005. Examples of physiologically acceptable carriers include saline, glycerol, DMSO, buffers such as phosphate buffers, citrate buffer, and buffers with other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid; low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; Docket No.10935-034WO1 hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, arginine or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrins; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugar alcohols such as mannitol or sorbitol; salt-forming counterions such as sodium; and / or nonionic surfactants such as TWEENTM(ICI, Inc.; Bridgewater, New Jersey), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and PLURONICSTM(BASF; Florham Park, NJ). To provide for the administration of such dosages for the desired therapeutic treatment, compositions disclosed herein can advantageously comprise between about 0.1% and 99% by weight of the total of one or more of the subject compounds based on the weight of the total composition including carrier or diluent. CRISPR / Cas Systems “CRISPR” (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) loci refers to certain genetic loci encoding components of DNA cleavage systems, for example, used by bacterial and archaeal cells to destroy foreign DNA (Horvath and Barrangou, 2010, Science 327: 167-170; W02007025097, published 01 March 2007). A CRISPR locus can consist of a CRISPR array, comprising short direct repeats (CRISPR repeats) separated by short variable DNA sequences (called spacers), which can be flanked by diverse Cas (CRISPR-associated) genes. The term “Cas protein” refers to a polypeptide encoded by a Cas (CRISPR- associated) gene. A Cas protein includes proteins encoded by a gene in a cas locus and includes adaptation molecules as well as interference molecules. An interference molecule of a bacterial adaptive immunity complex includes endonucleases. A Cas endonuclease described herein comprises one or more nuclease domains. The present disclosure provides a Cas endonuclease including, but not limited to a Cas9 protein, a Casl2a (Cpfl) protein, a Cas12b (C2cl) protein, a Cas13a (C2c2) protein, a Cas12c (C2c3) protein, Cas3, Cas3-HD, Cas 5, Cas7, Cas8, Casl0, or any combinations or variants thereof.

A Cas endonuclease may also include a multifunctional Cas endonuclease. The term “multifunctional Cas endonuclease” and “multifunctional Cas endonuclease polypeptide” are used interchangeably herein and includes reference to a single polypeptide that has Cas endonuclease functionality (comprising at least one protein domain that can act as a Cas endonuclease) and at least one other functionality, such as but not limited to, the functionality to form a complex (comprises at least a second protein domain that can form a complex with other proteins). In one aspect, the multifunctional Cas endonuclease comprises at least one additional protein domain relative (either internally, upstream (5’), downstream (3’), or both internally 5’ and 3’, or any combination thereof) to those domains typical of a Cas endonuclease. In some aspects, disclosed herein is a CRISPR / Cas system comprising a guide RNA (gRNA) sequence, wherein the gRNA targets a nucleic acid sequence without an exogenous DNA template, and wherein the gRNA induces a double strand break (DSB) in a first allele, initiates homology-directed repair (HDR) of the first allele, and generates a homozygous wild-type genotype. In some embodiments, the CRISPR / Cas system comprises a Cas9 endonuclease, or a variant thereof. As used herein, the term "Cas9 protein" refers to, but is not limited to, Cas9 proteins, Cas9-type proteins encoded by Cas9 orthologs, and synthetic proteins of Cas9. The term "Cas9 protein" as used herein refers to a wild type Cas9 protein from CRISPR-Cas9 type II B systems, Cas9 protein modifications, Cas9 protein variants, Cas9 orthologs and combinations of the same. The term "dCas9" as used herein refers to Cas9 protein variants that are Cas9 proteins deactivated by nuclease, also referred to as "catalytically inactive Cas9 protein", or "enzymatically inactive Cas9". Various Cas9s and their relationship with each other can be found in Gasiunas, et al. (Gasiunas G., Young, J.K., Karvelis, T. et al. A catalogue of biochemically diverse CRISPR- Cas9 orthologs. Nat Commun 11, 55122020, hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety for its discussion concerning Cas9 molecules). In some embodiments, the Cas endonuclease is a Cas13 including, but not limited to any one of the four subtypes, Cas13a, Cas13b, Cas13c, Cas13d, or a variant thereof. In some embodiments, the system comprises a second allele serving as an endogenous DNA template. In some embodiments, the system comprises the gRNA comprising one or more Docket No.10935-034WO1 mutated nucleotides located within a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence. In some embodiments, the system comprises the gRNA comprising one or more mutated nucleotides located at least one nucleotide away from the PAM sequence (for example, the one or more mutated nucleotides are located 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 nucleotides away from the PAM sequence). In some embodiments, the gRNA recognizes a target site sequence comprising the one or more mutated nucleotides, or the complementary sequence thereof. The terms “target site”, “target sequence”, “target site sequence,’’ target DNA”, “target locus”, “genomic target site”, “genomic target sequence”, “genomic target locus” and “protospacer”, are used interchangeably herein and refer to a polynucleotide sequence such as, but not limited to, a nucleotide sequence on a chromosome, episome, a locus, or any other DNA molecule in the genome (including chromosomal, chloroplastic, mitochondrial DNA, plasmid DNA) of a cell, at which a guide polynucleotide / Cas endonuclease complex can recognize, bind to, and optionally nick or cleave . The target site can be an endogenous site in the genome of a cell, or alternatively, the target site can be heterologous to the cell and thereby not be naturally occurring in the genome of the cell, or the target site can be found in a heterologous genomic location compared to where it occurs in nature. As used herein, terms “endogenous target sequence” and “native target sequence” are used interchangeable herein to refer to a target sequence that is endogenous or native to the genome of a cell and is at the endogenous or native position of that target sequence in the genome of the cell. A “protospacer adjacent motif” (PAM) herein refers to a short nucleotide sequence adjacent to a target sequence (protospacer) that is recognized (targeted) by the CRISPR / Cas endonuclease system described herein.

In some embodiments, the CRISPR / Cas endonuclease system is introduced into a cell using a delivery method including, but not limited to a viral vector, an extracellular vesicle, or a nanoparticle. In some embodiments, the viral vector includes, but is not limited to retroviral Docket No.10935-034WO1 vectors, adenoviral vectors, adeno-associated viral vectors, large payload viral vectors, or any variants thereof. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle of any preceding aspect is biocompatible and / or non-toxic to a subject. In some embodiments, the nanoparticle of any preceding aspect comprises a polymeric nanoparticle, a metallic nanoparticle (such as, for example gold (AU) nanoparticles), lipid nanoparticles (LNP), liposomes, and other biological nanomaterials. Retroviral Vectors A retrovirus is an animal virus belonging to the virus family of Retroviridae, including any types, subfamilies, genus, or tropisms. Retroviral vectors, in general, are described by Verma, I.M., Retroviral vectors for gene transfer. A retrovirus is essentially a package which has packed into it nucleic acid cargo. The nucleic acid cargo carries with it a packaging signal, which ensures that the replicated daughter molecules will be efficiently packaged within the package coat. In addition to the package signal, there are a number of molecules which are needed in cis, for the replication, and packaging of the replicated virus. Typically a retroviral genome, contains the gag, pol, and env genes which are involved in the making of the protein coat. It is the gag, pol, and env genes which are typically replaced by the foreign DNA that it is to be transferred to the target cell. Retrovirus vectors typically contain a packaging signal for incorporation into the package coat, a sequence which signals the start of the gag transcription unit, elements necessary for reverse transcription, including a primer binding site to bind the tRNA primer of reverse transcription, terminal repeat sequences that guide the switch of RNA strands during DNA synthesis, a purine rich sequence 5' to the 3' LTR that serve as the priming site for the synthesis of the second strand of DNA synthesis, and specific sequences near the ends of the LTRs that enable the insertion of the DNA state of the retrovirus to insert into the host genome. The removal of the gag, pol, and env genes allows for about 8 kb of foreign sequence to be inserted into the viral genome, become reverse transcribed, and upon replication be packaged into a new retroviral particle. This amount of nucleic acid is sufficient for the delivery of a one to many genes depending on the size of each transcript. It is preferable to include either positive or negative selectable markers along with other genes in the insert. Since the replication machinery and packaging proteins in most retroviral vectors have been removed (gag, pol, and env), the vectors are typically generated by placing them into a packaging cell line. A packaging cell line is a cell line which has been transfected or transformed with a retrovirus that contains the replication and packaging machinery, but lacks any packaging signal. When the vector carrying the DNA of choice is transfected into these cell lines, the vector containing the gene of interest is replicated and packaged into new retroviral particles, by the Docket No.10935-034WO1 machinery provided in cis by the helper cell. The genomes for the machinery are not packaged because they lack the necessary signals. Adenoviral Vectors The construction of replication-defective adenoviruses has been described (Berkner et al., J. Virology 61:1213-1220 (1987); Massie et al., Mol. Cell. Biol.6:2872-2883 (1986); Haj-Ahmad et al., J. Virology 57:267-274 (1986); Davidson et al., J. Virology 61:1226-1239 (1987); Zhang "Generation and identification of recombinant adenovirus by liposome-mediated transfection and PCR analysis" BioTechniques 15:868-872 (1993)). The benefit of the use of these viruses as vectors is that they are limited in the extent to which they can spread to other cell types, since they can replicate within an initial infected cell, but are unable to form new infectious viral particles. Recombinant adenoviruses have been shown to achieve high efficiency gene transfer after direct, in vivo delivery to airway epithelium, hepatocytes, vascular endothelium, CNS parenchyma and a number of other tissue sites (Morsy, J. Clin. Invest. 92:1580-1586 (1993); Kirshenbaum, J. Clin. Invest.92:381-387 (1993); Roessler, J. Clin. Invest.92:1085-1092 (1993); Moullier, Nature Genetics 4:154-159 (1993); La Salle, Science 259:988-990 (1993); Gomez-Foix, J. Biol. Chem. 267:25129-25134 (1992); Rich, Human Gene Therapy 4:461-476 (1993); Zabner, Nature Genetics 6:75-83 (1994); Guzman, Circulation Research 73:1201-1207 (1993); Bout, Human Gene Therapy 5:3-10 (1994); Zabner, Cell 75:207-216 (1993); Caillaud, Eur. J. Neuroscience 5:1287-1291 (1993); and Ragot, J. Gen. Virology 74:501-507 (1993)). Recombinant adenoviruses achieve gene transduction by binding to specific cell surface receptors, after which the virus is internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis, in the same manner as wild type or replication-defective adenovirus (Chardonnet and Dales, Virology 40:462-477 (1970); Brown and Burlingham, J. Virology 12:386-396 (1973); Svensson and Persson, J. Virology 55:442-449 (1985); Seth, et al., J. Virol. 51:650-655 (1984); Seth, et al., Mol. Cell. Biol. 4:1528-1533 (1984); Varga et al., J. Virology 65:6061-6070 (1991); Wickham et al., Cell 73:309-319 (1993)). A viral vector can be one based on an adenovirus which has had the E1 gene removed and these virons are generated in a cell line such as the human 293 cell line. In another preferred embodiment both the E1 and E3 genes are removed from the adenovirus genome. Adeno-associated viral vectors Another type of viral vector is based on an adeno-associated virus (AAV). This defective parvovirus is a preferred vector because it can infect many cell types and is nonpathogenic to humans. AAV type vectors can transport about 4 to 5 kb and wild type AAV is known to stably insert into chromosome 19. Vectors which contain this site specific integration property are preferred. An especially preferred embodiment of this type of vector is the P4.1 C vector produced Docket No.10935-034WO1 by Avigen, San Francisco, CA, which can contain the herpes simplex virus thymidine kinase gene, HSV-tk, and / or a marker gene, such as the gene encoding the green fluorescent protein, GFP. In another type of AAV virus, the AAV contains a pair of inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) which flank at least one cassette containing a promoter which directs cell-specific expression operably linked to a heterologous gene. Heterologous in this context refers to any nucleotide sequence or gene which is not native to the AAV or B19 parvovirus. Typically the AAV and B19 coding regions have been deleted, resulting in a safe, noncytotoxic vector. The AAV ITRs, or modifications thereof, confer infectivity and site-specific integration, but not cytotoxicity, and the promoter directs cell-specific expression. United states Patent No.6,261,834 is herein incorporated by reference for material related to the AAV vector. Large payload viral vectors Molecular genetic experiments with large human herpesviruses have provided a means whereby large heterologous DNA fragments can be cloned, propagated and established in cells permissive for infection with herpesviruses (Sun et al., Nature genetics 8: 33-41, 1994; Cotter and Robertson,.Curr Opin Mol Ther 5: 633-644, 1999). These large DNA viruses (herpes simplex virus (HSV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), have the potential to deliver fragments of human heterologous DNA > 150 kb to specific cells. EBV recombinants can maintain large pieces of DNA in the infected B-cells as episomal DNA. Individual clones carried human genomic inserts up to 330 kb appeared genetically stable The maintenance of these episomes requires a specific EBV nuclear protein, EBNA1, constitutively expressed during infection with EBV. Additionally, these vectors can be used for transfection, where large amounts of protein can be generated transiently in vitro. Herpesvirus amplicon systems are also being used to package pieces of DNA > 220 kb and to infect cells that can stably maintain DNA as episomes. Other useful systems include, for example, replicating and host-restricted non-replicating vaccinia virus vectors.

Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims. By way of non-limiting illustration, examples of certain embodiments of the present disclosure are given below. EXAMPLES The following examples are set forth below to illustrate the compositions, devices, methods, and results according to the disclosed subject matter. These examples are not intended to be inclusive of all aspects of the subject matter disclosed herein, but rather to illustrate representative methods and results. These examples are not intended to exclude equivalents and variations of the present invention which are apparent to one skilled in the art. Example 1: REpair of heterozygous Mutations independent of Exogenous Donor template with high efficiencY (REMEDY) using allele specific CRISPR targeting and HDR enhancers Herein, 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. Herein, in-PAM or near-PAM CRISPR strategies were used 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. Utility of REMEDY is demonstrated in the context of five 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. Docket No.10935-034WO1 Heterozygous mutations affect either a single allele in dominant or sex-linked inheritance patterns, or both alleles in the case of biallelic autosomal recessive inheritance. These mutations can be corrected by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) mediated homology-directed repair (HDR) and exogenous DNA templates. However, introducing exogenous HDR templates into the cells via electroporation, infection, lipofection, or by viral delivery approaches can lead to cell death, loss of regenerative potential, and adds additional manufacturing and financial burdens. Therefore, there is an essential need to develop an approach to efficiently edit heterozygous mutations independent of an exogenous DNA donor template. In G₀-phase in human cells, double-strand breaks (DSB) result in movement of the homologous chromosomes to the DSB site and formation of a transient contact. Other studies report that CRISPR-induced DSB triggers recombination between homologous chromosome arms in fly lines. Finally, homologous chromosome exchange has been reported in mouse cells with biallelic mutations. Therefore, it was contemplated that this homologous recombination mechanism between wild-type and mutant homologous chromosomes could be triggered in human and mouse cells that harbor heterozygous mutations. To initiate the HDR between the homologous chromosomes, a DSB is introduced only in the mutant allele. Mutant allele-specific targeting in heterozygous mutations can be achieved by designing gRNAs that contain mutated nucleotide(s) located near-PAM (within the 3’ seed sequence of the gRNA) or in-PAM sequence. Therefore, it was contemplated that an in-PAM or near-PAM gRNA design strategy would induce a targeted DSB only in the mutant allele and initiate the recruitment of the homologous healthy chromosome to serve itself as endogenous DNA donor template for correction of heterozygous mutations. This strategy does not require an exogenous DNA donor template for mutation correction. REMEDY corrects VCP gene mutations in mouse and patient derived cells of IBMPFD To test REMEDY, the present disclosure first focused on inclusion body myopathy with early-onset Paget disease and frontotemporal dementia (IBMPFD). The disease is caused by a missense mutation in Valosin Containing Protein (VCP) gene that has autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Here, a mouse model of inclusion body myopathy with a heterozygous mutation in the VCP gene (c.464_465GG>AT; p.Arg155His) was used, one of the most frequent pathogenic variants in the VCP gene. Four mutant allele specific gRNAs were used (Table 1) to target the R155H mutation. No targeting in fibroblasts derived from healthy mice for gRNA2-4, however gRNA1 targeted the wild-type allele (Figure 3) and thus was not used for the downstream experiments. The mutant allele specific gRNAs 2-4 were then tested in VcpR155H / +mouse myoblasts. All three of the tested gRNAs resulted in complete (100%) targeting of mutant allele Docket No.10935-034WO1 determined by Sanger sequencing (Figure 4). A modest correction of the mutant allele without an exogenous DNA template was observed. The frequency of wild-type allele in the cells targeted by gRNA2 increased from normalized 50% to 58% as measured by next generation sequencing (NGS) and analyzed by CRISPResso2. Therefore, 8% of the cells were corrected to homozygous for the wild-type allele without an exogenous donor DNA template. Sanger sequencing electropherograms showed the highest frequency of wild-type nucleotides at the position achieved by the gRNA2 among all the other gRNAs tested (Figure 1B and Figure 5). The VCP mouse model has different base pair substitution than the human mutation (c.464_465GG>AT in mouse equal to c.464G>A in human) coding the same amino acid. To ensure that the REMEDY is not mutation and cell type specific, the human VCP heterozygous mutation c.464G>A (p.Arg155His) was then targeted with two different gRNAs targeting the mutant allele and screened these guides in IBMPFD patient derived fibroblasts. Sanger sequencing data showed an increase in the frequency of wild-type allele from 50% to 71% with gRNA1 and to 54% with gRNA2 without using an exogenous donor DNA template (Figure 1H and Figure 6A). To ensure that the REMEDY is not pathogenic allele specific, the wildtype allele of VCP c.464G was targeted with a gRNA that was designed specific to wild type allele and tested the guide in patient derived myoblasts and generated the homozygous mutation of VCP c.464G>A (p.Arg155His) with high efficiency (59% mutant allele) as analyzed by CRISPResso2 (Figure 6B and Table 9). Homology directed repair enhancers increase the efficiency of REMEDY The homology repair pathway takes place during the S and G2 phases when a DNA template is available such as a sister chromatid or an exogenous DNA template. It has been shown that HDR enhancers, such as IDT HDR enhancer and AZD7648, arrest or pause the cell cycle at G1 and S at high frequency. AZD7648-mediated cell cycle synchronization is reported to favor homology repair between homologous chromosomes that are in contact following CRISPR mediated DSB in the mutant chromosome. However, the exact mechanism remains to be verified. Since the REMEDY correction is regulated by HDR between homologous chromosomes, it was then contemplated that the addition of HDR enhancers such as IDT Alt-R HDR Enhancer V2 and AZD7648 as a DNA-PK inhibitor may further improve the efficiency of correction achieved by REMEDY. REMEDY was subsequently tested in IBMPFD. Since IBMPFD effects muscles, patient iPSC derived myoblasts were acquired and REMEMDY was tested on these cells. An increase in the wild-type allele frequency from 50 to 69% was observed using gRNA2 with AZD7648 (Figure 16). To evaluate whether this genetic Docket No.10935-034WO1 correction translated into phenotypic improvement, immunostaining was performed with antibodies against lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP2), a well-established marker of autophagy and observed a partial reduction in LAMP2 expression (Figure 1H). REMEDY corrects heterozygous mutations in tubulin folding cofactor D (TBCD) gene in patient derived fibroblasts REMEDY was further tested in the context of tubulin folding cofactor D (TBCD) in human patient-derived fibroblasts. Biallelic autosomal recessive mutations in this gene result in a rare early-onset encephalopathy with neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative features. Skin biopsy samples were collected from two different patients, patient 1 mutation 2 (P1M2) (TBCD; c.2305-2307 del GAG p.E769del) and patient 8 mutation 2 (P8M2) (TBCD; c.2472-2A>G- intronic splice acceptor mutation). Specifically, allele specific gRNAs were designed for the mutant allele (Tables 2 and 3) and patient derived fibroblasts were electroporated with Cas9 / RNP targeting the mutant allele. In patient P1M2, an increase in percentage of wild-type allele was observed in the cells targeted by the mutant allele specific gRNA from 50% to 64% (Figure 1D), and in P8M2, REMEDY achieved 8% correction (Figures 7A and 7B) as measured by ICE and CRISPresso2. In P1M2, treating the cells with IDT Alt-R Enhancer V2 or AZD7648 post Cas9 / RNP electroporation resulted in a further increase in the frequency of the wild-type allele to 83% and to 82% in the cells, respectively, as measured by ICE . This means 30% of the cells have become homozygous for wild-type TBCD. NGS was performed and the data analyzed with CRISPResso2 and identified similar percentage of correction (22% wild-type homozygous TBCD)(Figure 1D and 1E). Single cell clones of the REMEDY corrected cells confirmed the correction of heterozygous mutation in TBCD To ensure the stability of the edits and to confirm that these findings are not related to sequencing artifacts, single cell cloning was performed in the patient derived fibroblasts that were targeted with allele specific gRNA3 and treated with HDR enhancer. Based on Sanger sequencing and NGS data, one out of five clones (20%) was found to be fully corrected to wild-type homozygous TBCD. This was confirmed by the Sanger sequencing of five single cell clones that were grown for more than 10 days (Figure 1E and 1G). The NGS and Sanger sequencing on P8M2 also showed enhanced correction after treating the cells with AZD7648 and IDT HDR enhancer (from 50% to 70%) along with REMEDY (Figure 7 and 8). Docket No.10935-034WO1 REMEDY corrected heterozygous mutation in ITPR3 gene REMEDY was tested on a heterozygous mutation in the inositol 1,4,5 triphosphate receptor 3 (ITPR3) which regulates intracellular calcium stores, and inherited pathogenic variants can cause Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, demyelinating, type 1J and a severe combined immunodeficiency. Patient-derived fibroblasts were obtained and a gRNA was designed (Table 4) to target only the ITPR3 allele harboring the mutation (c.7570C>T, p. Arg2524Cys). REMEDY, with the addition of HDR enhancers, again was able to correct the heterozygous mutation in these cells with no need for exogenous DNA donor template, 50% to 62% with AZD7648 and 50% to 61% with IDT HDR enhancer V2 measured by NGS and analyzed by CRISPResso2 (Figures 2A and 2B) and Sanger following analysis by ICE (Figure 9). Since AZD7648 and IDT HDR enhancer V2 resulted in comparable efficacy and AZD7648 is used in clinical settings, the rest of the experiments were performed using only the AZD7648 DNA-PK inhibitor. It is worth mentioning that the ITPR3 pathogenic variant appears to confer a survival disadvantage to fibroblasts, compared to healthy control fibroblasts or those from patients with other inborn errors of immunity (IEIs; e.g. IPEX). Remedy corrected the most common heterozygous mutation in CFTR gene in CF patient derived bronchial epithelial cells To test whether REMEDY could be used for ex vivo cell therapy applications, where clinical implications could be transformative, human airway epithelial cells were collected from a patient with cystic fibrosis (CF). Allele-specific gRNAs were designed targeting a deletion of phenylalanine 508 (F508del) in CFTR gene (Table 5). A single heterozygous mutation impairs CFTR folding resulting in chloride channel dysfunction. Human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) harboring one copy of the F508del variant were electroporated with the Cas9 / RNP, treated the cells with AZD7468, and a significant increase in the frequency of wildtype allele was observed in the cells treated with gRNA1 from 50% to 86% and to 87% with gRNA2. Confirming REMEDY for genome editing free of an exogenous donor DNA template in a cell type that has therapeutic implications for ex vivo cell therapy (Figures 2C and 2D). REMEDY results in correction of human derived cells from Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS or progeria). Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS or progeria) is caused by a dominant- negative mutation in the LMNA gene (c.1824 C>T; p.G608G) which encodes nuclear Lamin A and Lamin C. In previous studies, base editing corrected this mutation in patient-derived Docket No.10935-034WO1 fibroblasts with an efficiency of 87–91% of the pathogenic allele. Herein, REMEDY was used to correct the same mutation in Progeria patient-derived fibroblasts and achieved highly efficient targeting of the mutated allele (100%) and achieved correction of the mutated allele (50% to 69% wild-type allele) in the cells treated with AZD7648 post allele specific CRISPR targeting without an exogenous DNA template (Figure 2E and Table 6). REMEDY corrected the autosomal dominant mutations in the skeletal muscle alpha (α)- actin (ACTA1) gene in iPSC cells The REMEDY approach was tested to correct autosomal dominant mutations in the skeletal muscle alpha (α)-actin (ACTA1) gene in patient derived iPSC cells. ACTA1 is the primary actin isoform found in skeletal muscles and thin filaments in the sarcomere, the basic unit of muscle contraction. Mutations in this gene are linked to disrupted actin polymerization and impaired interactions with other proteins such as myosin, ultimately leading to a severe Nemaline myopathy characterized by muscle weakness, delayed developmental milestones, respiratory difficulties, and dilated cardiomyopathy. For this experiment, allele-specific gRNAs were designed targeting the H40Y mutation in the ACTA1 gene (p. His42Try, c. CAC>TAC, 124C>T)(Table 10). REMEDY was applied in H40Y ACTA1 iPSC cells and analyzed with Sanger sequencing. Sequencing results demonstrated 82% correction of the mutant allele using gRNA2 while the wild-type allele remained unaffected (Figure 2G). These results confirm the efficacy of REMEDY in editing autosomal dominant mutations in ACTA1 without requiring an exogenous HDR template. This is important since many pathogenic mutations in the ACTA1 gene have been associated with NEM3 disease and having a simple and cost-effective gene editing platform will be crucial toward advancing therapeutic approaches. Furthermore, since there are six actin genes in human cells with ~90% sequence homology, using REMEDY ensures a highly specific genome-editing approach without relying on HDR templates to minimize the risk of off- target effects. PacBio sequencing did not show evidence of large-scale genomic alterations Cas9 mediated large DNA resection resulting in large-scale genomic alterations such as loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been a concern surrounding the use of this technology. Additionally, DNA-PK inhibition may further increase the frequency of the LOH. Therefore, PacBio HiFi long-read sequencing was performed to evaluate such alterations after the use of REMEDY at the TBCD-P1M2 pathogenic allele target site (chr17: 82,924,980, TBCD; c.2305- 2307 delGAG p.E769delP1M2) in non-edited and REMEDY corrected patient derived iPSC cells. Docket No.10935-034WO1 PacBio HiFi sequencing was performed and the data were aligned to the human reference genome (GRCh38) using pbmm2 (v1.13.1). Overall, PacBio indicated no meaningful LOH effects near the target site(Table 13). In detail, manual inspection of reads at the target site confirmed the expected variant in the untreated sample in the heterozygous condition (Figure 15A). In the REMEDY, the treated sample showed the high efficiency of targeting the mutant allele as shown by Sanger sequencing and NGS (18 delGAG reads non edited vs. 2 delGAG reads in REMEDY treated).Therefore, two delGAG reads remained, as well as 5 reads containing short non-frame-shifting deletions of uncertain pathogenicity. The remaining altered reads contained either short frame-shifting deletions (8) or large deletions (2). A corrective effect is expected in 58-88% of the altered alleles observed (Figure 15B and 15C, Tables 11 and 12). DeepVariant analysis detected 33 phased heterozygous sites within 10kb of the target site in the untreated sample. In the treated sample, all sites remained heterozygous; only one (chr17: 82932762) showed any discrepancy, with 2 of 38 (5.3%) reads deviating from the expected allelic phasing. This represents only 0.2% of total reads and is unlikely to indicate any meaningful LOH effects near the target site (Table 13). No large-scale copy-number changes were observed in chromosome 17. Nine small focal gains or losses were detected, of which seven matched to the untreated comparator. One additional single-copy gain was detected on 17p (chr17:16752000-16844000) and a single-copy loss at the distal end of 17q (chr17:83234000-83256000) was instead called as a complete loss (Figure 15D); however, manual inspection of these regions in Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) showed no discernible differences between the treated and untreated samples. The degree of coverage variation observed across chromosome 17 was confirmed to be comparable to chromosome 12 (Figure 17). After filtering for appropriate coverage and appropriate allele frequency in the untreated comparator sample, 57481 variants were used to determine post-treatment loss-of-heterozygosity. Chromosome 17 heterozygosity bins deviated from the expected variant allele frequency (VAF) by 2.2% to 6.7%, comparable to the deviations observed in chromosome 12 (1.2% to 5.6%) (Figure 15E and Figure 18). Conclusion REMEDY can be used in basic science and pre-clinical studies for which a heterozygous mutation needs to be corrected. It can also be used to generate pathogenic homozygous mutations for in vitro studies if only wild-type allele is targeted, and the mutated homologous chromosome Docket No.10935-034WO1 is used as the endogenous HDR template. Additionally, REMEDY can treat patients with a wide variety of heterozygous mutations, especially if the correction can be performed ex vivo for cell therapy applications. REMEDY has several advantages over existing gene correction approaches. In the pre- clinical setting, high efficiency of correcting heterozygous mutations can be achieved by introducing donor DNA template to the cells; however, this can be cytotoxic given the initiation of DNA sensing mechanism. In the clinical setting, providing an exogenous DNA template is expensive and not widely accessible especially in low-middle income countries. Ongoing studies are assessing the range of correction that can be achieved by REMEDY, particularly in the context of different mutation types (single nucleotide polymorphisms vs. deletions of varying sizes). The allele specific gRNA approach used in REMEDY is another advantage of the method as it minimizes the number of off targets since it is designed to only target the mutant allele. However, the in-PAM or near-PAM gRNA design can also be a limitation if there are no PAM sequences in close vicinity of the mutation site. This problem can be potentially solved by changing the type of endonuclease that expands the range PAM sequences to initiate a DSB in the mutant allele. Tools such as AlleleAnalyzer (github.com / keoughkath / AlleleAnalyzer) can be used for allele-specific sgRNA design and for identifying endonucleases. Lastly, the addition of HDR enhancers improves efficiency of REMEDY. The direct comparison of two relevant enhancers validates this confirmation and enhances translation of our novel REMEDY approach. Herein, it is demonstrated that a new mechanism that overcomes many current barriers of gene editing by efficiently repairing heterozygous mutations without the necessity of exogenous donor DNA template. These findings are confirmed in 6 diseases, 2 species, and 3 cell types in the context of IBMPFD, TBCD, CF, Progeria, ITPR3, and ACTA1 which result from distinct molecular mechanisms, demonstrating the breadth of application of this technology. Methods: Patient Derived Fibroblasts The present disclosure was performed in compliance with the standards set by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) at Nationwide Children’s Hospital (IRB number 14-00719). Written, informed consent was obtained from the participants prior to inclusion in the study. Samples from the participants were identified by numbers, not names. Patient derived human skin fibroblasts were collected under IRB and maintained in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium (DMEM, Gibco™, Catalog # Docket No.10935-034WO1 11960044) supplemented with GlutaMAX (Gibco™, Catalog #35050061) and 15% heat inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (GenClone Catalog # 25-514H) FBS at 37°C and 5% CO2. Human primary Progeria dermal fibroblast cell lines were obtained from The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) Cell and Tissue Bank. The HGPS cell lines were HGADFN367. Progeria fibroblasts were grown in DMEM media supplemented with GlutaMAX, 20% FBS, 1% Non- Essential Amino Acids (NEAA) (Thermo Fisher, Catalog # 11140050) and 1% Pen / Strep (Gibco™, Catalog # 15070-063). Mouse myoblasts and fibroblasts All animal experiments were performed in compliance with the standards set by the National Institute of Health (NIH) and were reviewed and approved by the Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC approval number: AR18-00123). All experiments were conducted in compliance with the ARRIVE guidelines. All mice were sacrificed in accordance with ethical standards; overdose of xylazine / ketamine anesthesia was used to euthanize the mice. Skeletal muscles were collected from one VcpR155H / +mouse after euthanasia (The Jackson Laboratory, Strain #:021968). Protocol was Shahini et al., 201831. Shortly, muscles were minced and seeded on a Matrigel (Corning, Catalog #354234) coated cell culture dish in proliferation medium for release of myoblasts (high glucose DMEM, 20% FBS (Thermo Fisher, Catalog #16000044), 10% horse serum (ThermoFisher, Catalog #26050070), 0.5% chicken embryo extract (Fisher Scientific, Catalog #NC9997754), 2.5 ng / ml bFGF (Peprotech, Catalog #450-33), 10 μg / ml gentamycin (Gibco, Catalog #15-710-064), 1% Antibiotic-Antimycotic (ThermoFisher, Catalog #15240062), and 2.5 μg / ml plasmocin prophylactic (Invivogen, ant- mpp). Released cells were pre-plated to purify myoblasts. Similarly, skin sample of one VcpR155H / +mouse was collected after mouse is euthanized and fibroblasts were released starting in one week. Cells were maintained as mentioned in the Patient-Derived Fibroblasts section. All animal experiments were performed according to the ethical guidelines approved by The Research Institute at Nationwide Children’s Hospital Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC approval number: AR18-00123). Airway Epithelial cells Human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) were obtained from CF donor lungs through the Epithelial Cell Core at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. HBECs were cultured using Pneumacult- Ex Plus media with ROCK inhibitor (Y-27632) at 10 µM. Five days after seeding, the cells were Docket No.10935-034WO1 dissociated by treatment with TrypLE and resuspended in OPTI-MEM (Gibco™, Catalog #31985070) at a concentration of 5 million cells / ml. 6 µg of Cas9 and 3.2 µg of sgRNA were mixed and incubated for 10 minutes.20 µL of cells in OPTI-MEM were added to the Cas9 / sgRNA mixture and electroporated using a Lonza 4D nucleocuvette strips. The program CA-137 with buffer setting P3 (Lonza, Catalog# V4XP-3032) was used. Five days after editing, genomic DNA was isolated from HBECs. Exon 11 locus of CFTR was amplified using PCR with an annealing temperature of 58°C and extension time of 35 sec using Q5 polymerase. Patient derived iPSCs To generate patient derived iPSCs, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated under approved IRB. The PBMCs were then converted to iPSCs using Sendai virus reprogramming kit (Thermo Fisher, A16518) and maintained in supplemented STEMFLEX™ Medium (Thermo Fisher, A3349401) on plates coated with Vitronectin (VTN) Recombinant Human Protein, Truncated, 10mL (Thermo Fisher, A31804) at 37°C and 5% CO2. Single Cell Cloning Cells were detached and diluted to 1x104cells / ml in culture media. A suspension of 5 cells / mL was prepared from the 1x104cells / mL solution by adding 25 µL to 50 mL of culture media. 200 µL of the new dilution was added to each well of a 96 well plate. The plates were monitored for 7-10 days to assess for single cell colonies. Upon reaching an appropriate cell number, PCR was performed on the isolated DNA, purified, and sent for Sanger sequencing to validate a homogeneous population. Preparation of Allele specific gRNAs VCP, TBCD, CTFR, ACTA1, LMNA and ITPR3 gRNAs were designed by using online tool Benchling (https: / / benchling.com) and synthesized by Synthego as Synthetic gRNAs resuspended in TE buffer to achieve 100 µM working concentration. Performing allele specific CRISPR in mouse myoblasts and patient derived fibroblasts, iPSCs and myoblasts Fibroblast cells were detached at least 70% confluency using TrypLE Express Enzyme (Fisher Scientific, Catalog #12-604-021). The cells were collected and counted using trypan blue. A total of 1.0x105cells were used for electroporation. The cells were electroporated using the Cas9 / RNP as 2 μl of Alt-R™ S.p. Cas9 Nuclease V3, 500 µg (IDT, Catalog # 1081059) at 62 μM, Docket No.10935-034WO1 2 μl gRNA, and 1 μl of DPBS (Corning, Catalog # 21-031-CV). The control cells received 5 µL of DPBS. the prepared Cas9 / RNP was incubated at RT for 20 minutes. The cells were resuspended in 20 μl SE electroporation buffer (Lonza, Catalog #V4SC-1096). Resuspended cells were combined with the cas9 / RNP and loaded into the electroporation cuvette provided in the Lonza kit. The cuvette was placed into the Amaxa 4D-Nucleofector X Unit (Lonza, Catalog # AAF- 1003X). The cells were electroporated with the parameters of SE buffer and a pulse code of CD- 137. Post electroporation, the cells were rested for 1 minute at RT, then using prewarmed culture media the cells were transferred to 12 well plates containing the prepared media. Cells recovered in the incubator at 37°C, 5% CO2. hiPSCs derived myoblasts were obtained from VCP donor patients through the Cure VCP Disease Foundation. Cells were seeded onto 10 cm culture dishes coated with Collagen (Col I, Corning, Cat. 354236) and grown in Myoblast expansion medium (iXCells, Catalog # MD-0102A1) with 1% Pen / Strep (Gibco™, Catalog # 15070-063). Medium was changed every other day and cells were passaged once they reached 80-90% confluency using TrypLE (Gibco™ Catalog # 12604021). Human and mouse myoblasts were treated in a similar fashion with the only variation being 0.25x105cells were used per electroporation. Electroporation on iPSCs was performed using P4 electroporation buffer (Lonza, V4XP-4032) and a pulse code CA-137. Following electroporation, cells were cultured in supplemented STEMFLEX™ Medium (Thermo Fisher, A3349401) with 1X CultureSureTM CEPT Cocktail(1,000×) (FujiFilm, 033- 26071). Medium was changed 24-hours post electroporation. The medium was replaced with supplemented STEMFLEX™ Medium (Thermo Fisher, A3349401), without antibiotics, containing 1X Y27632 Rock Inhibitor (LC Labs, Y-5301). To enhance HDR we treated the post electroporation cells with 1 mM solution of AZD7648 (R&D Systems, Catalog # 7825 / 10) was prepared in DMSO. 1 μL AZD7648 was added per 1 mL of media. The IDT HDR enhancer V2 was used at concentration of 10 μM. The media containing AZD7648 and IDT HDR enhancer V2 were removed and replaced with fresh media 24 hours after the addition of the cells. DNA isolation and PCR Genomic DNA was isolated from edited and non-edited cells using DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Catalog #69504). Isolated DNA was subjected to PCR amplification using the Platinum™ SuperFi II PCR Master Mix (Thermo Fisher, Catalog # 12368010). Following PCR, each sample was purified following the Qiagen QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen, Catalog # 28104). Purified samples were run on Invitrogen™ E-Gel™ Agarose Gels with SYBR™ Safe DNA Gel Stain, 2% (Fisher Scientific, Catalog # A45205) using the E-Gel™ Power Docket No.10935-034WO1 Snap Electrophoresis System Starter Kit, SYBR Safe 2% (Thermo Fisher, Catalog # G8322ST) to validate the PCR product. All PCR primers- utilized for NGS and Sanger sequencing are described in Supplementary tables 11 and 12. Sanger Sequencing Purified PCR samples along with the corresponding primers were submitted to Azenta / Genewiz (www.genewiz.com) for Sanger sequencing. The received .ab1 files were analyzed using ICE (ice.synthego.com). Briefly, unaffected samples of cell types similar to the patient samples were used as the control sample by which the unedited patient sample and CRISPR / cas9 edited cells were compared to. The gRNA used during a KO needs to be changed to the WT sequence without the mutation present in the patient sample. NGS Deep Sequencing Purified PCR samples were sent to the Center for Computational & Integrative Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital (dnacore.mgh.harvard.edu). Samples were run on the Illumina MiSeq with 2x100bp reads. Data was analyzed through the CRISPResso2 (crispresso.pinellolab.org / ) data analysis tool. Briefly, the tool aligns each read to all allelic variants present in the controls and matches the read to the allele that is more similar. PacBio Sequencing Allele Assessment Reads at the target site were visualized using the Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV) and manually tallied. Each read was assigned to one of the following categories: wild-type, ΔGAG, small non-frame-shifting deletion (<100 bp, multiple of 3bp), small frame-shifting deletion (<100 bp, not a multiple of 3bp), and large deletion (>=100bp). Local Loss-of-Heterozygosity To detect the presence of local heterozygosity potentially introduced around the edit-site, phased variant-calling was performed via DeepVariant (v1.6.0) on both samples. Phased heterozygous sites within 10kb of the target site were identified from the untreated sample. Findings at these sites were then analyzed in the treated sample, to detect any deviation from expected heterozygosity or disruption of allelic phasing. Docket No.10935-034WO1 Chromosomal CNV-LOH To detect large-scale loss-of-heterozygosity, DeepVariant results were compared across the length of chromosome 17. Sites with a VAF between 0.40 and 0.60 were identified in the untreated sample and filtered to those with at least 10 reads of support and not within 1 megabase of a centromere region. VAFs were then compared with the treated sample, accounting for the degree of error observed in the untreated comparator. These VAFs were then binned into equal regions each representing 1% of the chromosome’s length, averaged, and plotted. Post-treatment allele frequencies of sites found to be heterozygous in the comparator were plotted as supporting data. HiFiCNV (v1.0.0) was used to detect the presence of CNV events. The resulting copy- number estimates were plotted for both treated and untreated samples. Coverage metrics gathered by HiFiCNV were plotted as background supporting data. Identical analyses were also performed for non-targeted chromosome 12 for comparison. Immunofluorescence staining To detect the co-localization of Lamp2 and Desmin, iPSC derived myoblasts were transferred on coverslips, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS, and blocked with 1% bovine serum albumin with 10% normal goat serum and 0.1% Triton x-100. The cells were incubated with primary antibodies against LAMP2 in 1:100 dilution (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Catalog # sc-18822) and Desmin in 1:200 dilution (Invitrogen, Catalog # MA5-16357) for 90 minutes. Afterwards, the cells were incubated with FITC (Thermo Fisher, Catalog# A11017) and Cy5 (Thermo Fisher, Catalog # A21244)-conjugated secondary antibodies in 1:500 dilution for both for 45 minutes and treated in ProLong Gold Antifade Reagent with DAPI (Invitrogen, Catalog# P36935).

84. The method of claim 83, wherein the one or more mutated nucleotides are located 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 nucleotides away from the PAM sequence.
85. The method of any one of claims 79-84, wherein the CRISPR / Cas endonuclease system is introduced into the cell using an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector or a nanoparticle.
86. The method of any one of claims 79-85, wherein the DSB induces homology-directed repair (HDR) of the wild-type allele.
87. The method of any one of claims 79-86, further comprising introducing an HDR enhancer into the cell.
88. The method of claim 87, wherein the HDR enhancer comprises AZD7648 and / or IDT HDR enhancer version 2 (v2), or a variant thereof.
89. The method of any one of claims 79-88, wherein the one or more nucleic acids are sequenced using Sanger sequencing, Next-generation sequencing (NGS) Deep sequencing, or a variant thereof.
90. The method of any one of claims 89, wherein the sample is a tissue sample or a blood sample.
91. The method of any one of claims 79-90, wherein the method is performed ex-vivo or in-vitro.Docket No.10935-034WO1 92. A CRISPR / Cas system comprising a guide RNA (gRNA) sequence, wherein the gRNA targets a nucleic acid sequence without an exogenous DNA template, and wherein the gRNA induces a double strand break (DSB) in a first allele, initiates homology-directed repair (HDR) of the first allele, and generates a homozygous wild-type genotype.
93. The CRISPR / Cas system of claim 92, wherein a second allele serves as an endogenous DNA template.
94. The CRISPR / Cas system of claim 92 or 93, wherein the gRNA comprises one or more mutated nucleotides located within a protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sequence.
95. The CRISPR / Cas system of claim 92 or 93, wherein the gRNA comprises one or more mutated nucleotides located at least one nucleotide away from the PAM sequence.
96. The method of claim 95, wherein the one or more mutated nucleotides are located 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 nucleotides away from the PAM sequence.
