Long-Term Correction of Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency by WPRE-Mediated Overexpression Using a Helper-Dependent Adenovirus
31 Aug 2004
Abstract excerpt
The urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are important models for developing gene replacement therapy for liver diseases. Long-term correction of the most common UCD, ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, has yet to be achieved in clinical or preclinical settings. The single human clinical trial using early-generation adenovirus (Ad) failed to show any biochemical correction. In adult OTC-deficient mice, an...
