GENE EDITING METHODS FOR TREATING ALPHA-1 ANTITRYPSIN (AAT) DEFICIENCY

Disclosed are engineered meganucleases that bind and cleave a recognition sequence within a serine peptidase inhibitor, Clade A, Member 1 (SERPINA1) gene, which encodes alpha- 1 antitrypsin (AAT). Further disclosed are donor polynucleotides that encode functional AAT proteins. The present disclosure...

Zusammenfassung:Disclosed are engineered meganucleases that bind and cleave a recognition sequence within a serine peptidase inhibitor, Clade A, Member 1 (SERPINA1) gene, which encodes alpha- 1 antitrypsin (AAT). Further disclosed are donor polynucleotides that encode functional AAT proteins. The present disclosure also encompasses methods of using such engineered meganucleases and donor polynucleotides to make genetically-modified cells and use of such compositions for treatment of AAT deficiency.
