  • Publication number: 20230323398
    Abstract: The present invention relates to viral vectors that are capable of delivering a heterologous gene to the retina and in particular delivering RLBP1 to RPE and Müller cells of the retina. The invention also relates nucleic acids useful for producing viral vectors, compositions comprising the viral vectors and uses of the compositions and viral vectors. The invention also relates to methods of delivering and/or expressing a heterologous gene to the retina, improving the rate of dark adaption in a subject and treating RLBP1-associated retinal dystrophy.

  • Publication number: 20220064237
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are HTT repressors and methods and compositions for use of these HTT repressors. Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for diagnosing, preventing and/or treating Huntington's Disease. In particular, provided herein are methods and compositions for modifying (e.g., modulating expression of) an HD HTT allele so as to prevent or treat Huntington Disease, including mHTT repressors (that repress mHTT transcripts and thus also repress mHTT protein expression).

  • Publication number: 20210332383
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides, among other things, a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector comprising an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid and a codon-optimized sequence encoding a human iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S) enzyme. The disclosure also provides a method of treating a subject having Hunter syndrome (MPS II), comprising administering to the subject in need thereof a recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vector comprising an AAV8 or AAV9 capsid, and a promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid sequence that encodes iduronate-2-sulfatase (I2S), and wherein administering results in an increase in I2S enzymatic activity in the subject.
