Article Description

Lysosomal disorders are a group of heterogenous diseases caused by mutations in genes that encode for lysosomal proteins. With exception of some cases, these disorders still lack both knowledge of disease pathogenesis and specific therapies. In this sense, genome editing arises as a technique that allows both the creation of specific cell lines, animal models and gene therapy protocols for these disorders. Here we explain the main applications of genome editing for lysosomal diseases, with examples based on the literature. The ability to rewrite the genome will be of extreme importance to study and potentially treat these rare disorders.
