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. Se divulgan meganucleasas diseñadas que se unen y escinden una secuencia de reconocimiento dentro de un inhibidor de la serina peptidasa, gen Clade A, Miembro 1 (SERPINA1), que codifica la alfa-1 antitripsina (AAT). Además se describen polinucleótidos donantes que codifican proteínas AAT funcionales. La presente divulgación también abarca métodos para usar tales meganucleasas diseñadas y polinucleótidos donantes para producir células genéticamente modificadas y el uso de tales composiciones para el tratamiento de la deficiencia de AAT.
