Abstract
The present invention is directed to the filed of gene therapy. In particular, compositions and methods are disclosed that repair gene microduplication mutations by reversion to a wild type sequence. For example, the creation of a double stranded break by a programmable nuclease protein within a microduplication induces the microhomology mediated end joining DNA repair pathway that in the process of DNA repair removes the microduplication mutation and restores the wild type sequence.
