These disorders are currently incurable and effectively untreatable, with heterogeneous penetrance, presentation and prognosis. To address the lack of effective treatment for these disorders, we exploited a recently developed mouse model that recapitulates common molecular features of heteroplasmic mtDNA disease in cardiac tissue: the m.5024C&gt;T tRNA<sup>Ala<\/sup>\u00a0mouse. Through application of a programmable nuclease therapy approach, using systemically administered, mitochondrially targeted zinc-finger nucleases (mtZFN) delivered by adeno-associated virus, we induced specific elimination of mutant mtDNA across the heart, coupled to a reversion of molecular and biochemical phenotypes. These findings constitute proof of principle that mtDNA heteroplasmy correction using programmable nucleases could provide a therapeutic route for heteroplasmic mitochondrial diseases of diverse genetic origin.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"tighten-line-height small-space-below\" data-test=\"article-title\">MitoTALEN reduces mutant mtDNA load and restores tRNA<sup>Ala<\/sup>\u00a0levels in a mouse model of heteroplasmic mtDNA mutation<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41591-018-0166-8\"><u>\uc5ec\uae30<\/u><\/a>\ub97c \ud074\ub9ad\ud558\uc138\uc694~<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"Abs1\" class=\"js-section-title section-title strong position-relative tighten-line-height background-gray-light pt20 pb6 pl0 pr20 standard-space-below small-space-above mq640-pt10 mq640-pb10 mq640-pl20 mq640-mt0 mq640-ml-20 mq640-mr-20 extend-left\">Abstract<\/h6>\n<div id=\"Abs1-content\" class=\"pl20 mq875-pl0 js-collapsible-section\">\n<p>Mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are responsible for several metabolic disorders, commonly involving muscle and the central nervous system<sup><a id=\"ref-link-section-d4640e448\" title=\"Craven, L., Alston, C.
