Arbor Biotechnologies is exploring an investigational Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) approach to treating Angelman syndrome.
A therapeutic approach with two parts: one that recognizes a specific section of DNA or RNA and one that uses an enzyme (CAS) to cut at a specific section in the DNA or RNA. A CRISPR could be designed to cut the UBE3A-ATS and potentially allow the paternal UBE3A gene to be turned on.
