Gene therapy targeting the blood–brain barrier improves neurological symptoms in a model of genetic MCT8 deficiency
5 Aug 2022
Abstract excerpt
A genetic deficiency of the solute carrier monocarboxylate transporter 8 (MCT8), termed Allan-Herndon-Dudley syndrome, is an important cause of X-linked intellectual and motor disability. MCT8 transports thyroid hormones across cell membranes. While thyroid hormone analogues improve peripheral changes of MCT8 deficiency, no treatment of the neurological symptoms is available so far. Therefore, we tested a gene...
