Long-Term Effects of In Vivo Genome Editing in the Mouse Retina Using Campylobacter jejuni Cas9 Expressed via Adeno-Associated Virus

Genome editing with CRISPR systems provides an unprecedented opportunity to modulate cellular responses in pathological conditions by inactivating undruggable targets, such as transcription factors. Previously, we demonstrated that the smallest Cas9 ortholog characterized to date, from Campylobacter jejuni (CjCas9) targeted to Hif1a and delivered in an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector, effectively suppressed pathological choroidal...
