Abstract
Genetic diseases have long posed significant challenges, with limited breakthroughs in treatment. Recent advances in gene editing technologies offer new possibilities in gene therapy for the treatment of inherited disorders. However, traditional gene editing methods have limitations that hinder their potential for clinical use, such as limited editing capabilities and the production of unintended byproducts. To overcome these limitations, prime editing (PE) has been developed as a powerful tool for precise and efficient genome modification. In this review, we provide an overview of the latest advancements in PE and its potential applications in the treatment of inherited disorders. Furthermore, we examine the current delivery vehicles employed for delivering PE systems in vitro and in vivo, and analyze their respective benefits and limitations. Ultimately, we discuss the challenges that need to be addressed to fully unlock the potential of PE for the remission or cure of genetic diseases.
