A therapy candidate for fatal prion diseases turns off disease-causing gene

Broad Institute

They used an engineered adeno-associated virus (AAV) that crosses the blood-brain barrier after intravenous administration. CRISPRoff silences the targeted gene by adding methyl groups, chemical tags that prevent the gene from being transcribed or read into RNA and so from being expressed as protein.
