Aspects of the disclosure relate to compositions and methods for multiplexed gene silencing in a cell or subject. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides an isolated nucleic acid or an rAAV encoding a transgene comprising a RNA-guided nuclease (RGN) operably linked to a first promoter, and a second promoter operably linked to a multi guide-RNA (multi-gRNA) expression cassette encoding one or more gRNAs targeting a gene associated with hypercholesterolemia or dyslipidemia. In some embodiments, the disclosure provides methods of treating a subject having hypercholesterolemia or dyslipidemia by administering the compositions.
