Undesired chromosomal translocations, vector integrations, and large deletions remain a problem for therapeutic gene editing in vivo. Here, the authors compare the CRISPR-Cas9TX variant with CRISPR-Cas9 and show elimination of chromosomal translocations and reduction of AVV integration when targeting Vegfa for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration in a mouse model.
