Adenoviral Gene Therapy of the Tay-Sachs Disease in Hexosaminidase A-Deficient Knock-Out Mice
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
The severe neurodegenerative disorder, Tays-Sachs disease, is caused by a beta-hexosaminidase alpha-subunit deficiency which prevents the formation of lysosomal heterodimeric alpha-beta enzyme, hexosaminidase A (HexA). No treatment is available for this fatal disease; however, gene therapy could represent a therapeutic approach. We previously have constructed and characterized, in vitro, adenoviral and retroviral...
