Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to adeno-associated vims (AAV) capsid polypeptides and encoding nucleic acid molecules. The disclosure also relates to AAV vectors comprising the capsid polypeptides, and nucleic acid vectors (e.g. plasmids) comprising the encoding nucleic acids molecules, as well as to host cells comprising the vectors. The disclosure also relates to methods and uses of the polypeptides, encoding nucleic acids molecules, vectors and host cells. The disclosure includes AAV capsid polypeptides comprising a peptide modification in variable region 8 (VR VIII), where the peptide modification comprises a 7 amino acid insertion.
