A large CRISPR-induced bystander mutation causes immune dysregulation.


ABSTRACT: A persistent concern with CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing has been the potential to generate mutations at off-target genomic sites. While CRISPR-engineering mice to delete a ~360?bp intronic enhancer, here we discovered a founder line that had marked immune dysregulation caused by a 24?kb tandem duplication of the sequence adjacent to the on-target deletion. Our results suggest unintended repair of on-target genomic cuts can cause pathogenic "bystander" mutations that escape detection by routine targeted genotyping assays.
