Liver Expression of a MiniATP7B Gene Results in Long‐Term Restoration of Copper Homeostasis in a Wilson Disease Model in Mice
1 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
Gene therapy with an adeno-associated vector (AAV) serotype 8 encoding the human ATPase copper-transporting beta polypeptide (ATP7B) complementary DNA (cDNA; AAV8-ATP7B) is able to provide long-term copper metabolism correction in 6-week-old male Wilson disease (WD) mice. However, the size of the genome (5.2 kilobases [kb]) surpasses the optimal packaging capacity of the vector, which resulted in low-yield...
