Core Tip The treatment of liver diseases is varied and often complicated. Gene editing is being developed to treat a variety of chronic disorders and has exciting potential for curing hepatic diseases. Engineering of derivatives of zinc finger proteins, transcription activator-like effectors, homing endonucleases and clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats potentially enables sequence-specific gene editing. These DNA binding proteins may be used to alter genes permanently or to influence the epigenetic status of liver cells for therapeutic benefit.
