Engineering microdeletions and microduplications by targeting segmental duplications with CRISPR
2016
Recurrent, reciprocal genomic disorders due to non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) are a major cause of human disease. The authors developed a CRISPR/Cas9 genome engineering method that directly targets segmental duplications and efficiently mimics the NAHR-mediated mechanism of microdeletion and microduplication that occurs in vivo using 16p11.2 and 15q13.3 as proof-of-principle models.
