Abstract excerpt
Adeno-associated virus (AAV)-based gene therapy has been shown to be safe and effective in numerous animal models and clinical trials for various ophthalmic diseases. Stargardt disease (STGD1; MIM #248200) is the most common autosomal recessive macular dystrophy disease, and the most common form is caused by mutations in the ABCA4 gene, a gene with 6.8 kb coding sequence. Split intein approaches increase the...
