CRISPR/Cas9-mediated glycolate oxidase disruption is an efficacious and safe treatment for primary hyperoxaluria type I

Substrate reduction therapies (SRT) are a promising therapeutic approach for monogenic inherited metabolic diseases. Here the authors evaluate the therapeutic potential of an in vivo CRISPR/Cas9-mediated SRT to treat primary hyperoxaluria type I and demonstrate its safety and efficacy.
