Cytosine base editors and adenine base editors (ABEs) can correct point mutations predictably and independent of Cas9-induced double-stranded DNA breaks (which causes substantial indel formation) and homology-directed repair (which typically leads to low editing efficiency). Here, we show, in adult mice, that a subretinal injection of a lentivirus expressing an ABE and a single-guide RNA targeting a de novo nonsense mutation in the Rpe65 gene corrects the pathogenic mutation with up to 29% effic ...[more]
