Liver-Targeted AAV8 Gene Therapy Ameliorates Skeletal and Cardiovascular Pathology in a Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA Murine Model
21 May 2020
Abstract excerpt
Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA (MPS IVA) is due to the deficiency of GALNS ( N -acetylgalactosamine 6-sulfate sulfatase) and is characterized by systemic skeletal dysplasia. We have evaluated adeno-associated virus 8 (AAV8) vectors expressing different forms of human GALNS under a liver-specific promoter. The vectors were delivered intravenously into 4-week-old MPS IVA knockout (KO) and immune tolerant (MTOL)...
