Iron oxide-coupled CRISPR-nCas9-based genome editing assessment in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA mice

open access: yesMolecular Therapy: Methods & Clinical Development, 2023
Mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) IVA is a lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the GALNS gene that leads to the lysosomal accumulation of keratan sulfate (KS) and chondroitin 6-sulfate, causing skeletal dysplasia and cardiopulmonary complications.
