Abstract

Purpose: Among the genome-editing methods for repairing disease-causing mutations resulting in autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa, homology-independent targeted integration (HITI)-mediated gene insertion of the normal form of the causative gene is useful because it allows the development of mutation-agnostic therapeutic products. In this study, we aimed for the rapid optimization and validation of HITI-treatment gene constructs of this approach in developing HITI-treatment constructs for various causative target genes in mouse models of retinal degeneration.
