Abstrakt: Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-based technology has been adapted to achieve a wide range of genome modifications, including transcription regulation. The focus of this review is on the application of CRISPR-based platforms such as nuclease-deficient Cas9 and Cas12a, to achieve targeted gene activation. We review studies to date that have used CRISPR-based activation technology for the elucidation of biological mechanism and disease correction, as well as its application in genetic screens as a powerful tool for high-throughput genotype-phenotype mapping. In addition to our synthesis and critical analysis of published studies, we explore key considerations for the potential clinical translation of CRISPR-based activation technology.
