Mitochondrial diseases are commonly caused by mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which in most cases co–exists with the wild–type (mtDNA heteroplasmy). We have engineered TAL–effector nucleases (TALENs) to localize to mitochondria and cleave different classes of pathogenic mtDNA mutations. MitoTALEN expression led to permanent reductions in deletion or point mutant mtDNA in patient–derived cells, raising the possibility that they can be curative to some of these diseases.
