Hiramoto et al. develop a base-editing approach using SpCas9-NG, an engineered Cas9 with broad PAM flexibility, to correct a causative mutation in hemophilia B. Their approach is used to repair the point mutation in patient-derived iPSCs and restore coagulation factor IX expression in HEK293 cells and knock-in mice.
