Successful Gene Therapy in Older Rpe65-Deficient Dogs Following Subretinal Injection of an Adeno-Associated Vector Expressing <i>RPE65</i>
12 Sept 2013
Abstract excerpt
Young Rpe65-deficient dogs have been used as a model for human RPE65 Leber congenital amaurosis (RPE65-LCA) in proof-of-concept trials of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) gene therapy. However, there are relatively few reports of the outcome of rAAV gene therapy in Rpe65-deficient dogs older than 2 years of age. The purpose of this study was to investigate the success of this therapy in older...
