Abstract
•Microsatellite expansions are responsible for more than 30 neurological or developmental disorders. •Gene therapy could involve shortening expanded microsatellites using highly specific nucleases. Trinucleotide repeat expansions are involved in more than two dozen neurological and developmental disorders. Conventional therapeutic approaches aimed at regulating the expression level of affected genes, which rely on drugs, oligonucleotides, and/or...
