  • Publication number: 20240408233
    Abstract: Provided herein is a gene therapy for PKP2 (Plakophilin-2), e.g. using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector. The promoter of the vector may be a MHCK7 promoter or a cardiac troponin T (HTNNT2) promoter. The capsid may be an AAV9 or AAVrh74 capsid or a functional variant thereof. Other promoters or capsids may be used. Further provided are methods of treatment, such as by intravenous, intracoronary, intracarotid or intracardiac administration of the rAAV vector, and other compositions and methods.

  • Publication number: 20230330265
    Abstract: Provided herein is a gene therapy for neurological disease using a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) virion as a vector to express an eEF1A2 protein or functional variant thereof. The rAAV virion may use a neuron-specific promoter, e.g., a human synapsin 1 (hSYN) promoter. The capsid may be an AAV9 capsid or functional variant thereof. Other promoters or capsids may be used. Further provided are methods of treatment, such as by intracerebrally and/or intravenously of the rAAV virion, and other compositions and methods.

  • Publication number: 20230272422
    Abstract: Provided herein is a gene therapy for GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome and related disorders using a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) virion as a vector to express an GLUT1 protein or functional variant thereof. The rAAV virion may use an endothelial-specific promoter, e.g., a FLT-1 or Tie-1 promoter. The capsid may be an AAV6, AAV8, AAV9, AAVrh.74, or AAVrh.10 capsid or a functional variant thereof. Other promoters or capsids may be used. Further provided are methods of treatment, such as by intracerebrally and/or intravenously of the rAAV virion, and other compositions and methods.
