Title:
METHODS FOR NUCLEIC ACID EDITING TO ALTER APOE4 FUNCTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/143609
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present application provides methods of altering ApoE4 in a cell comprising a nucleic acid encoding ApoE4 by introduction of components of a nucleic acid editing system, thereby producing an ApoE4 with altered function. Also provided are methods of ameliorating a symptom of a neurodegenerative disorder in an individual, comprising altering ApoE4 in the individual by use of a nucleic acid editing system. Also provided are ApoE4 mutants having ApoE3-like functions.
