A collaborative effort between researchers at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (NIAID) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of the Mass General Brigham Health Care System, is demonstrating the potential of precision genome editing technologies, called adenine base editors, to correct disease-causing mutations in stem cells from patients with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD), a rare genetic disorder characterized by high susceptibility to infection. The findings are published in Science Translational Medicine. Patients with X-CGD experience recurrent invasive infections, hyperinflammation and inflammatory bowel disease, with increased morbidity and early…
