LNPs have limited capacity, and if the CRISPR/Cas system they’re using requires an exact match, then any additional point mutation or insertion or deletion in the segment being matched would allow the cell to survive. I suppose that approximately 3n extra guide RNAs (where n is the length of the matched sequence) could be added, but that seems a bit messy.
