Claims20
A system for altering a host cell DNA sequence, comprising:
- a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) endonuclease or a nucleic acid encoding the DNA endonuclease, wherein the DNA endonuclease is Cas9;
- a guide RNA (gRNA) comprising a spacer sequence complementary to a host cell locus or a nucleic acid encoding the gRNA;
- and
- a donor template comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a synthetic FVIII protein, wherein the synthetic FVIII protein comprises a B domain substitute, wherein the B domain substitute comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 362-364, 366-369, 371, and 373.
A method of editing a genome in a host cell, the method comprising providing to the cell:
- (a) a gRNA comprising a spacer sequence complementary to a host cell locus or a nucleic acid encoding the gRNA;
- (b) a DNA endonuclease or a nucleic acid encoding the DNA endonuclease, wherein the DNA endonuclease is Cas9;
- and
- (c) a donor template comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a synthetic FVIII protein, wherein the synthetic FVIII protein comprises a B domain substitute, wherein the B domain substitute comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 362-364, 366-369, 371, and 373.
A method of treating hemophilia A in a subject, the method comprising:
- providing the following to a cell in the subject:
- (a) a gRNA comprising a spacer sequence complementary to a host cell locus or a nucleic acid encoding the gRNA;
- (b) a DNA endonuclease or a nucleic acid encoding the DNA endonuclease, wherein the DNA endonuclease is Cas9;
- and
- (c) a donor template comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a synthetic FVIII protein, wherein the synthetic FVIII protein comprises a B domain substitute, wherein the B domain substitute comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 362-364, 366-369, 371, and 373.
A method of increasing the amount of FVIII in a subject, the method comprising:
- providing the following to a cell in the subject, wherein the subject has a first serum level of FVIII:
- (a) a gRNA comprising a spacer sequence complementary to a host cell locus or a nucleic acid encoding the gRNA;
- (b) a DNA endonuclease or a nucleic acid encoding the DNA endonuclease, wherein the DNA endonuclease is Cas9;
- and
- (c) a donor template comprising a nucleic acid sequence encoding a synthetic FVIII protein, wherein the synthetic FVIII protein comprises a B domain substitute, wherein the B domain substitute comprises the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 362-364, 366-369, 371, and 373.
