Abstract
The present disclosure provides improved genome editing compositions and methods for editing a human BTK gene. The disclosure further provides genome edited cells for the prevention, treatment, or amelioration of at least one symptom of X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA).
Claims41
A gene editing composition comprising a TALEN that cleaves a target site in the human Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) gene.
A gene editing composition comprising:
- a) a Cas protein or a polynucleotide encoding a Cas protein;
- b) a guide-RNA (gRNA);
- and
- c) a repair template comprising a functional BTK gene or fragment thereof;
- wherein the gene editing system is capable of repairing an endogenous BTK gene in the B cell or inserting a functional BTK gene into the genome of the B cell.
