UTR comprises a deletion therein. In another representative embodiment, the invention provides an isolated nucleic acid comprising a coding region encoding a GAA and a 3? UTR, wherein the 3? UTR is less than about 200 nucleotides in length and comprises a segment that is heterologous to the GAA coding region.
