Abstract Background. The gene for apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4 E4) confers an increased risk for development and lowers the age of onset of Alzheimers disease (AD). It is a highly suitable target for CRISPR-based editing because ApoE4 differs from ApoE3 by a single nucleotide polymorphism in the codon for residue 112 that codes for arginine (CGC) in E4 and cysteine (TGC) in E3. Editing of E4 to E3 could lower the risk of AD or ameliorate E4-related AD phenotypes.
