Grant Activity:
Programmable correction of mitochondrial DNA mutations
Purpose:
Mitochondrial diseases (MD) may occur at any age, affect any body organ, and may result in severe disability and often death. The prognosis for children with mitochondrial disease is especially grim and devastating for families. There are no known cures and it is not possible to predict the future of a child with mitochondrial disease. We have created unique RNA editing tools that can reverse mutations in cells and potentially improve energy metabolism in patient and in vivo models of MD.
