Gene Transfer as an Approach to Treating Hemophilia

Abstract excerpt

Gene therapy is a novel area of therapeutics in which the active agent is a nucleic acid sequence rather than a protein or small molecule. Successful clinical applications of gene transfer have been limited to date because of shortcomings in the available gene delivery vehicles. The goal of gene transfer for hemophilia is to achieve sustained expression of factor (F) VIII or FIX at levels high enough to improve...
