The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) renaissance was catalysed by the discovery that RNA-guided prokaryotic CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins can create targeted double-strand breaks in mammalian genomes. This finding led to the development of CRISPR systems that harness natural DNA repair mechanisms to repair deficient genes more easily and precisely than ever before. CRISPR has been used to knock out harmful mutant genes and to fix errors in coding sequences to rescue disease phenotypes in preclinical studies and in several clinical trials. However, most genetic disorders result from combinations of mutations, deletions and duplications in the coding and non-coding regions of the genome and therefore require sophisticated genome engineering strategies beyond simple gene knockout. To overcome this limitation, the toolbox of natural and engineered CRISPR–Cas systems has been dramatically expanded to include diverse tools that function in human cells for precise genome editing and epigenome engineering. The application of CRISPR technology to edit the non-coding genome, modulate gene regulation, make precise genetic changes and target infectious diseases has the potential to lead to curative therapies for many previously untreatable diseases. This Review focuses on the potential applications of CRISPR to treat diseases that cannot be overcome by inducing frameshifts or premature stops in coding genes. The authors discuss Cas protein engineering and CRISPR systems beyond Cas9 that create a toolbox to engineer the human genome. CRISPR systems are RNA-guided ribonucleoproteins that function as both sequence-specific nucleic acid-targeting proteins and nucleases; these systems are being developed as therapies for simple Mendelian disorders. Novel approaches using newly discovered CRISPR systems and Cas protein engineering have expanded the available genome engineering toolbox, enabling the development of potentially curative therapies for diseases with complex drivers. Targeting and altering the non-coding genome with CRISPR could potentially ameliorate disease by changing the transcription or translation of target genes. The use of CRISPR systems with nuclease-dead Cas proteins fused to transcriptional or epigenetic modulators enables targeted gene regulation without inducing DNA damage or altering the genetic code. CRISPR base editors and prime editors can be used to create precise genome edits such as therapeutic mutations, insertions or deletions that are difficult to achieve using wild-type CRISPR–Cas nucleases. In addition to genome engineering, the CRISPR toolbox could potentially be used to prevent and treat infectious diseases.
