Abstract
The present invention provides a method of treating a disease associated with activated MYD88 signaling in a subject, including suppressing MYD88 expression in a subject by targeting an expression regulatory region of MYD88 gene by using a CRISPR-Guide Nucleotide Directed Modulation (GNDM), without affecting the expression of an adjacent ACAA1 gene. Also, provided is a CRISPR-GNDM system for suppressing MYD88, including expression comprising (a) a protein selected from the group consisting of dCas9 or dCpf1, a fusion protein of dCas9 or dCpf1 and Kruppel associated box (KRAB) and (b) a guide RNA (gRNA) targeting an expression regulatory region of MYD88 gene.
