Tay-Sachs disease is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by HEXA mutations inactivating the metabolic enzyme HexA. The most common mutation is c.1278insTATC, a tandem 4-bp duplication disrupting HEXA expression by frameshift. In an engineered cell model, we explore the use of CRISPR-Cas9 for t...
