Efficient and precise generation of Tay-Sachs disease model in rabbit by prime editing system. [PDF]
Dear Editor, Tay–Sachs disease (TSD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder due to an autosomal recessively inherited deficiency of β-hexosaminidase A (HexA). The four-bases (TATC) insertion in exon 11 of the HEXA (HEXA ins TATC) accounts for 80% of
