Genomic DNA was extracted using a DNA Extraction Kit (DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit, QLAGEN) after 2 days of transfection. CRISPR-Cas9 target sites were amplified using primer pairs (Exon 4, Forward: GAACCAGCTTCAGAACCAGGC and Reverse: GCTGGAAGCTCATTACAGCC; Exon 5, Forward: GGAGACAGACAGACAGTCTC and Reverse: CTGTGGAGGTGAATGGGAGAC) by PCR. The PCR was progressed under the condition (94 °C for 5 min, 35–40 cycles of 94 °C for 20 s/57 °C for 30 s/72 °C for 35 s, and 72 °C for 5 min). T7E1 analysis was performed. The amplicons were denatured by heating and annealed to form heteroduplex DNA, which was treated with 5 units of T7 endonuclease 1 (Toolgen Inc., Seoul, Korea) for 20 min at 37 °C and then analyzed by electrophoresis on a 1.5% agarose gel.
