Abstract: The present invention concerns synthetic polynucleotides encoding a human fukutin-related protein (FKRP) wherein the synthetic polynucleotides contain at least a mutation avoiding supplementary transcript(s) generated from frameshift start codon(s). The synthetic polynucleotides are useful, especially for treating a pathology linked to a FKRP deficiency or induced by a defect in ?-dystroglycan (?-DG) glycosylation, such as LGMD2I.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing phosphorylated keto polyols by biocatalysis and uses thereof.

Abstract: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) is a defective mono-stranded DNA virus, endemic in human population (35-80%). Recurrent clonal AAV2 insertions are associated with the pathogenesis of rare human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) developed on normal liver. The aimed of the inventors was to characterize the natural history of AAV infection in the liver. Viral DNA was thus quantified in tumor and non-tumor liver tissues of 1461 patients. Presence of episomal form and viral mRNA expression were analyzed using a DNAse/TaqMan based assay and quantitative RT-PCR. In silico analyses using viral capture data explored viral variants and new clonal insertions. AAV DNA was detected in 21% of the patients equally distributed in 2 major viral subtypes: one similar to AAV2, the other hybrid between AAV2 and AAV13 sequences. Thus the inventors provided an integrated analysis of the wild type AAV infection in the liver with the identification of viral genotypes, molecular forms, helper virus relationship and viral integrations.

Abstract: An RNA interference (RNAi) strategy is provided based on use of artificial microRNA (amiR) to reduce NKCC1 expression. In particular, a method is provided that achieves neuron-specific expression of specific amiR against NKCC1 by using a human Synapsin promoter to drive transgene expression.

Abstract: The invention relates to a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) capsid protein, which is a peptide-modified hybrid between AAV serotype 9 (AAV9) and AAV serotype 74 (AAVrh74) capsid proteins comprising at least one copy of a peptide comprising the RGD motif, wherein said recombinant peptide-modified hybrid AAV capsid protein has a further reduced liver tropism and an increased muscle transduction compared to the recombinant hybrid AAV capsid protein not having said peptide. The invention relates also to the derived peptide-modified hybrid AAV serotype vector particles packaging a gene of interest and their use in gene therapy, in particular for treating neuromuscular genetic diseases, in particular muscular genetic diseases.

Abstract: The present invention relates to peptides and compositions for use in improving transduction efficiency of viruses into target cells.

Abstract: The present invention relates to variants of acid-alpha glucosidase and uses thereof.

Abstract: Sarcoglycanopathies are autosomal recessive diseases caused by mutations in the one of the genes coding for any sarcoglycans (SG). The inventors previously showed that the application of small molecules developed to rescue ?F508-CFTR trafficking, and known as CFTR correctors, improved the maturation of several ?-sarcoglycan mutants that were consequently rescued at the plasma membrane (WO 014086687). Now, the inventors show that some specific CFTR correctors provide additive and even synergic effect when administered in combination.
