BACKGROUND: Preclinical studies have shown that gene therapy is a feasible approach to treat mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE). However, the genetic murine model of the disease (Tymp/Upp1 double knockout, dKO) has a limited functional phenotype beyond the metabolic imbalances, and so the studies showing efficacy of gene therapy have relied almost exclusively on demonstrating correction...
