Abstract excerpt
Type 4C Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT4C) demyelinating neuropathy is caused by autosomal recessive SH3TC2 gene mutations. SH3TC2 is highly expressed in myelinating Schwann cells. CMT4C is a childhood-onset progressive disease without effective treatment. Here, we generated a gene therapy for CMT4C mediated by an adeno-associated viral 9 vector (AAV9) to deliver the human SH3TC2 gene in the Sh3tc2-/- mouse model of...
