Abstract

Purpose

OF REVIEW Several lipid and lipoprotein risk factors play an important role in the causality of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Many therapies are limited by suboptimal long-term adherence. This narrative review summarizes the potential for gene editing and epigenetic therapy for the management of dyslipidemia. RECENT

Findings

Recent advances in genomic engineering permit the ability to develop gene editing, base editing and epigenomic editing of specific regions of DNA in humans. These therapies have advanced to early phase clinical evaluation with initial reports demonstrating favorable reductions in ANGPTL3 and proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9, with consequent decreases in levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides. Apart from mild-moderate infusion reactions, the early experience with these therapies appears to be well tolerated. SUMMARY Advances in genomic engineering have developed a number of agents with the potential for robust and durable changes to atherosclerotic lipid and lipoprotein risk factors. How these agents will enter clinical practice will require further evaluation in clinical trials.
