Abstract

The disclosed technology includes methods of treating Danon disease, for example correcting genetic mutations in the LAMP-2 gene and ameliorating at least one Danon disease phenotype, for example defective LAMP-2B-mediated autophagy. In some implementations, the disclosed methods include editing a mutated form of the LAMP-2 gene in a patient in need thereof. In some implementations, editing the mutated form of the LAMP-2 gene may include use of a CRISPR editing technique targeted to the mutated form of the LAMP-2 gene. As a result, mutated LAMP-2 proteins in mammalian subjects may be restored in at least some of the affected cells, for example cardiomyocytes.
