Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Dramatic restoration of retinal function has followed subretinal viral-mediated gene therapy in RPE65-deficient animal models of human Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) caused by RPE65 mutations. Progress in early-phase clinical trials of RPE65-LCA prompted us to begin development of an in vivo bioassay of clinical grade vector stability for later-phase trials. METHODS: Naturally-occurring Rpe65-mutant...
