Leukemia, a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies originating from aberrant proliferation of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Despite significant progress in chemotherapy, radiotherapy, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), and immunotherapeutic approaches, disease relapse and therapy resistance continue to present major obstacles to long-term remission. The emergence of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)–CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system has revolutionized genome editing, offering a simple, precise, and programmable tool for targeted gene manipulation.
CRISPR-Cas9 has been applied extensively to dissect leukemogenic pathways, identify novel oncogenic drivers, and develop innovative therapeutic strategies, including gene correction, immunotherapy enhancement, and synthetic lethality screening. However, its translation into clinical oncology remains challenged by off-target mutagenesis, delivery inefficiencies, ethical considerations, and regulatory barriers. This review critically examines the mechanistic principles of CRISPR-Cas9, its therapeutic potential in leukemia, and the evolving landscape of CRISPR-based clinical research, while highlighting future prospects such as base editing, prime editing, and Cas variants that may improve safety and precision.
