Efficiency of gene delivery, efficacy in recipient cells, and proportion of cells required for overall benefit are the key points needed to be considered in any therapeutic approach. Recent efforts have demonstrated the efficacy of RNA-guided nucleases such as CRISPR\/Cas9 in correcting point mutations or removing dominant mutations. Here we used viral delivered Cas9 plasmid and two guide RNAs to remove a recessive insertional mutation, vibrator (vb), in the mouse brain. The vb mice expressed \u223c20% of normal levels of phosphatidylinositol transfer protein, \u03b1 (PITP\u03b1) RNA and protein due to an endogenous retrovirus inserted in intron 4, resulting in early-onset tremor, degeneration of brainstem and spinal cord neurons, and juvenile death. The in situ CRISPR\/Cas9 viral treatment effectively delayed neurodegeneration, attenuated tremor, and bypassed juvenile death. Our studies demonstrate the potential of CRISPR\/Cas9-mediated gene therapy for insertional mutations in the postnatal brain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/pcmedi\/pbab021","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,19]],"date-time":"2021-08-19T12:35:37Z","timestamp":1629376537000},"page":"168-175","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["CRISPR\/Cas9 mediated somatic gene therapy for insertional mutations: the <i>vibrator<\/i> mouse model"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Xin","family":"Fu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Spine Center, Xin Hua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200092, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou 510623, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yaou","family":"Duan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nanoengineering, Chemical Engineering Program, and Moores Cancer Center, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"VA-San Diego Healthcare System, San Diego, CA 92161, USA"},{"name":"Department of Neurosciences, University of California at San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biomedicine and Innovations, Faculty of Medicine, Macau University of Science and Technology, Macao, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022032115033170000_bib1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1258096","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1258096","article-title":"Genome editing.
