DNA-Editing Method Shows Promise to Treat Mouse Model of Progeria
NCATS, NHGRI ∙ 01/06/2021 ∙ Somatic Cell Genome Editing
DNA is made up of four chemical bases — A, C, G and T. Progeria, which is also known as Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome, is caused by a mutation in the nuclear lamin A (LMNA) gene in which one DNA base C is changed to a T. This change increases the production of the toxic protein progerin, which causes the rapid aging process. Funding for the study was supported in part by NCATS.
