Gene Therapy in a Large Animal Model of PDE6A-Retinitis Pigmentosa
20 Jun 2017
Abstract excerpt
Despite mutations in the rod phosphodiesterase 6-alpha (PDE6A) gene being well recognized as a cause of human retinitis pigmentosa, no definitive treatments have been developed to treat this blinding disease. We performed a trial of retinal gene augmentation in the Pde6a mutant dog using Pde6a delivery by capsid-mutant adeno-associated virus serotype 8, previously shown to have a rapid onset of transgene...
