    摘要: The present invention relates to methods and compositions for restoring function of a pathogenic protein, the method comprising contacting a polynucleotide encoding the pathogenic protein with a guide oligonucleotide capable of effecting an adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR)-mediated adenosine to inosine alteration, wherein the adenosine to inosine alteration generates a restored amino acid, thereby restoring function of the pathogenic protein. The invention also relates to methods and compositions for treating a disease in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising identifying a subject with a pathogenic protein; contacting within the subject a polynucleotide encoding the pathogenic protein with a guide oligonucleotide capable of effecting an adenosine deaminase acting on RNA (ADAR)-mediated adenosine to inosine alteration, wherein the adenosine to inosine alteration generates a restored amino acid, thereby treating the disease in the subject.
