COMPOSITION POUR LE TRAITEMENT DE L'HÉMOPHILIE, COMPRENANT UN SYSTÈME CRISPR/CAS AYANT UN POTENTIEL DE CORRECTION D'INVERSION DU GÈNE DU FACTEUR VIII DE COAGULATION
The present invention relates to a CRISPR/Cas system having an inversion correction potential, which uses at least one guide RNA targeting a sequence region where two different homologs present on genomic introns are conjugated to each other in an inversion manner, and a Cas protein, and a CRISPR/Cas system of FVIII gene inversion correction potential that uses at least one guide RNA targeting an int22-1/3 homolog or int22-1/2 homolog sequence region present on intron 22 of coagulation factor VIII (F8) gene and a Cas protein. A CRISPR/Cas system according to the present invention comprises a system which employs a small-size Cas9 and a guide RNA fitted thereto, thereby enabling all CRISPR/Cas instruments to be easily packaged in one AAV, which is impossible in conventional large-size Cas9. In addition, the CRISPR/Cas system can induce normal gene expression thanks to the inversion gene correction potential thereof and is excellent as a technology capable of effectively overcoming the difficult intracellular delivery of large-size gene mutation through gene editing. Particularly, the system can induce normal FVIII expression by restoring the inversion of FVIII gene and thus is useful for the treatment of hemophilia A.
