Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Inherited apolipoprotein (Apo) A-I deficiency is an orphan disorder characterized by high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol deficiency and premature atherosclerosis. Constitutive over-expression of ApoA-I might provide a means to treat this disease. The present study provides a comprehensive evaluation of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated ApoA-I gene delivery to express human (h)ApoA-I and...
