Dynamics and competition of CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins and AAV donor-mediated NHEJ, MMEJ and HDR editing

Ya-Wen Fu et al.

Summary: Investigations into CRISPR gene knockout editing profiles have improved the precision of editing outcomes. The dynamics and patterns of editing, particularly for homology-directed repair, vary among different cell lines. A combination of small molecules, M3814 and Trichostatin A, can lead to a 3-fold increase in HDR efficiency by inhibiting predominant NHEJ repairs.

Verification of CRISPR editing and finding transgenic inserts by Xdrop indirect sequence capture followed by short- and long-read sequencing

Thorarinn Blondal et al.

Summary: Validation of CRISPR-Cas9 editing typically focuses on the immediate vicinity and distal off-target sequences, concluding that editing is specific. However, studies show that unintended editing events like deletions and insertions are frequent but often missed. The Xdrop(TM) technology allows for targeted enrichment of long regions, identifying unknown and unintended genome editing events.

Simple and reliable detection of CRISPR-induced on-target effects by qgPCR and SNP genotyping

Isabel Weisheit et al.

Summary: The study presents a framework for detecting OnTEs in genome-edited cells and organisms which can exclude large deletions, insertions, rearrangements, and loss of heterozygosity. The protocol uses optimized PCR primers and SNP detection methods to efficiently and accurately identify these unintended effects while maximizing simplicity and minimizing costs.

Response to Comment on Reintroduction of the archaic variant of NOVA1 in cortical organoids alters neurodevelopment

Roberto H. Herai et al.

Summary: Researchers conducted an undisclosed in silico-only whole-exome sequencing analysis of the data, identifying genomic alterations in some clones previously undetected. However, most of these alterations could not be experimentally validated, with only one alteration remaining unconfirmed and having no impact on previous results or data interpretation.

Comment on Reintroduction of the archaic variant of NOVA1 in cortical organoids alters neurodevelopment

Tomislav Maricic et al.

Summary: The reintroduction of an ancestral amino acid substitution in the protein NOVA1 was found to drastically alter the development of brain organoids, but the effects observed may also be attributed to heterozygous deletions of the target DNA sequence in the cell lines used by the authors.

Reintroduction of the archaic variant of NOVA1 in cortical organoids alters neurodevelopment

Cleber A. Trujillo et al.

Summary: The evolutionarily conserved splicing regulator NOVA1 plays a crucial role in neural development and function, with a protein-coding difference between modern humans and Neanderthals. Reintroducing the archaic allele of NOVA1 into human induced pluripotent cells resulted in slower neural development and increased surface complexity, reflecting potential functional consequences for human evolution.

Dyshomeostatic modulation of Ca2+-activated K+ channels in a human neuronal model of KCNQ2 encephalopathy

Dina Simkin et al.

Summary: Mutations in the KCNQ2 gene result in neonatal epileptic encephalopathy with severe seizures and neurodevelopmental impairments. Patient-derived neurons show specific functional properties that can be replicated in control neurons by chronically inhibiting the M-current. Dyshomeostatic mechanisms exacerbate KCNQ2 loss-of-function in patient iPSC-derived neurons.

Allelic Dropout Is a Common Phenomenon That Reduces the Diagnostic Yield of PCR-Based Sequencing of Targeted Gene Panels

Anna G. Shestak et al.

Summary: Primary cardiomyopathies are monogenic disorders with multiple alleles influencing pathogenesis. Next-generation sequencing has improved DNA diagnostics but genetic testing for CMPs still has a diagnostic yield below 60%. The study identified allelic dropout as a common issue impacting diagnostic yield in genetic testing for primary cardiomyopathies.

Chromothripsis as an on-target consequence of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing

Mitchell L. Leibowitz et al.

Summary: CRISPR-Cas9 editing can result in nuclear structural defects, formation of micronuclei and chromosome bridges, leading to a mutational process known as chromothripsis. Chromothripsis, extensive chromosome rearrangement restricted to one or a few chromosomes, can cause human congenital disease and cancer. The potential for extensive chromosomal rearrangements should be considered and monitored as genome editing is implemented in the clinic.

Frequent loss of heterozygosity in CRISPR-Cas9-edited early human embryos

Gregorio Alanis-Lobato et al.

Summary: CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing shows promise for correcting disease-associated alleles in somatic cells, but studies in human embryos reveal challenges such as low mutation repair efficiency, high mosaicism, and unintended editing outcomes. Further research is crucial to evaluate the safety of genome editing techniques in human embryos.
