A patent application (Publication Number: US20240000970A1) describes a method for modifying a mutant allele of the Leucine-rich repeat serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (LRRK2) gene associated with monogenic Parkinson's disease. The method involves introducing a composition containing a CRISPR nuclease and a first RNA molecule with a guide sequence portion targeting the mutation in the LRRK2 gene. This complex induces a double-strand break in the mutant allele, allowing for precise genetic modifications.

Furthermore, the patent application details additional methods for targeting specific mutations or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with monogenic Parkinson's disease using RNA molecules and CRISPR nucleases. The application also covers the use of a second RNA molecule to induce a second double-strand break in the LRRK2 gene, potentially excising specific exons. The patent application aims to provide a precise and targeted approach for modifying genetic mutations linked to Parkinson's disease, offering potential therapeutic applications for treating or preventing the condition.
