Abstract excerpt
Pompe disease is caused by a lack of functional lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase (GAA) and can ultimately lead to fatal hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and respiratory insufficiency. Previously, we demonstrated the ability of recombinant adeno-associated virus serotype 1 (rAAV2/1) vector to restore the therapeutic levels of cardiac and diaphragmatic GAA enzymatic activity in vivo in a mouse model of Pompe disease. We...
