Metagenomi presents in vivo CNS gene editing data at ASGCT; CAST integration efficiency improved >50x
Metagenomi Therapeutics, Inc.
- Type II nuclease MG21-1 in single AAV achieved 69% protein knockdown in mouse motor cortex and 82% in brain via systemic delivery.
- Ultra-compact Type V nuclease MG119-28 (488 aa) achieved 64% target protein knockdown and up to 52% editing efficiency in mouse CNS.
- Type V-K CAST system engineered for >50x improvement in large gene integration efficiency vs. natural system in mammalian cells.
- In vitro, MG119-28 restored dystrophin levels >50% in DMD myocytes and achieved complete gene disruption in K562 cells.
- Platform aims to enable extrahepatic in vivo gene editing for neurological and neuromuscular disorders.
