Mutant allele-specific CRISPR disruption in DYT1 dystonia fibroblasts restores cell function
Most individuals affected with DYT1 dystonia have a heterozygous 3-bp deletion in the TOR1A gene (c.907_909delGAG). The mutation appears to act through a dominant-negative mechanism compromising normal torsinA function, and it is proposed that reducing mutant torsinA may normalize torsinA activity....
