Abstract excerpt
Farber disease (FD) is a rare monogenic lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in ASAH1 that results in a deficiency of acid ceramidase (ACDase) activity and the abnormal systemic accumulation of ceramide species, leading to multi-system organ failure involving neurological decline and retinopathy. Here we describe the effects of rAAV-mediated ASAH1 over-expression on the progression of retinopathy in a...
