Mechanistic description
Engineered guide RNAs could direct site-specific adenosine deaminases to prevent C-terminal frameshift mutations that dramatically increase TDP-43 aggregation propensity.
Debate provenance: derived from debate sess_SDA-2026-04-11-sda-2026-04-01-gap-006 on question: TDP-43 phase separation therapeutics for ALS-FTD. Consensus signal: domain_expert, skeptic, synthesizer, theorist discussed the mechanism terms C-Terminal, Editing, Frameshift, Protection, RNA, RNA-Guided, TARDBP, TDP. Novelty signal: skeptic-discussed-with-qualified-concession.
